What's giving me pause is that without changing anything on either system,
descrypt-opencl is appropriately using sm_20 and sm_50 on my heterogeneous
system, but is only using sm_20 on my GTX750 system. Previously, the
latter system was happily using sm_52. I am not sure what changed.

Interesting -- I'll try that.
