I just mimiced existing options, like --subformat=LIST. But hey, you
have a point: If/when we are going to support multiple devices it could
be given as eg. --device=0,1.

For now we could change the usage blob to

--platform=N (or =LIST)   set OpenCL platform, default 0 (or list them)

Is that a little more clear? The 80 char line limit force us to be very
terse. An alternative is:

magnum
