OpenCL
Summary
This change will bring basic OpenCL support to Fedora to support the development of OpenCL enabled software and the development of OpenCL implementations itself. The change includes enabling Mesa's OpenCL state-tracker (in 10.0 with ICD support), packaging pocl - an CPU only OpenCL implementation - and the introduction of several other OpenCL related packages.

Benefit to Fedora
Developers will have an easier start to develop OpenCL based software on Fedora. Furthermore this shall be seen as a step o bring OpenCL based software to Linux in general.
