The kind of kernels that are expressible in KernelAbstractions are currently
limited by the CPU support having to opperate on a macro level.

With the CPU support being implemented in OpenCL.jl using POCL, we can drop
many restrictions.

Breaking changes

  • Removes CPU backend
  • Removes @uniform
  • Removes @private
  • Julia LTS bump to 1.10

TODOS

  • POCL support on Windows
  • Rework test
  • Improve documentations
  • Dynamic shared memory
  • groupDim: length(KernelAbstractions.blocks(KernelAbstractions.__iterspace(@context())))
  • Remove return limitation

Open questions

  • CPU(;static=true)
    • Interaction between POCL threads and Julia threads
  • How many macros do we really need?
