The bulk of the OCL runtime code can be found inside 
https://github.com/Xilinx/XRT/tree/master/src/runtime_src/xocl. 
The OCL runtime also includes https://github.com/Xilinx/XRT/tree/master/src/runtime_src/xrt.
The OCL runtime library called libxilinxopencl.so in turn then uses XRT APIs to talk to the drivers. 
For PCIe these XRT APIs are implemented in the library libxrt_core.so the source for which is
https://github.com/Xilinx/XRT/tree/master/src/runtime_src/driver/xclng/xrt.

You can build a fully functioning runtime stack by following very simple build instructions--
https://xilinx.github.io/XRT/master/html/build.html

We do have a few dependencies on standard Linux packages including a few OpenCL packages 
bundled by Linux distros: ocl-icd, ocl-icd-devel and opencl-headers
