Hm, I did a few git grep for the usual opencl entry points, but didn't
find anything. Do I need to run some build scripts first (which
downloads additional sourcecode)? Or is there some symbol mangling
going on and that's why I don't find anything? Pointers very much
appreciated.

I have no clue about DNN/ML unfortunately, I think I'll try to look
into the ocl side a bit more first.
