Testing this on OSX w/ nvidia:

$ ../run/john -t -fo:des-opencl
OpenCL platform 0: Apple, 2 device(s).
Using device 1: GeForce GT 650M
Compilation log: <program source>:292:65: warning: unknown attribute 'max_constant_size' ignored
 __kernel void DES_bs_25(constant uint *index768 __attribute__((max_constant_size(3072))), __global int *index96 ,__global DES_bs_transfer *DES_bs_all,__global DES_bs_vector *B_global)
                                                                ^

Benchmarking: DES BS [128/128 BS SSE2-16]... DONE
Many salts:	2016K c/s real, 2036K c/s virtual
Only one salt:	2097K c/s real, 2114K c/s virtual

Do you think the compiler warning means we're in trouble or is it OK that the attribute is ignored on some systems?

Before this patch it was a lot slower:

$ ../run/john -t -fo:des-opencl 
OpenCL platform 0: Apple, 2 device(s).
Using device 1: GeForce GT 650M
Benchmarking: DES BS [128/128 BS SSE2-16]... DONE
Many salts:	173605 c/s real, 173893 c/s virtual
Only one salt:	173318 c/s real, 173605 c/s virtual

The [128/128 BS SSE2-16] is very confusing, it should say OpenCL instead of SSE2. Please fix that.
