I'll try to fix that, and I must admit that OpenCL much architecture
neutral, or I am doing something wrong.

Thanks! This will be solved.

It was just quick draft of fast MSCash not slow MSCash2, so I didn't
spend much time on that and renaming is not needed. It is 20M not 20K
c/s, and as rest fast hashes for 80-85% time gpu idles.


Thanks for code review. I apreciate.
