I did not understand, how does it work is related to openCL?

@MetinSeven Nothing is merged yet, but my next step is to polish code, and work for it to be accepted in master

@nokipaike This work isn’t specific to OpenCL or CUDA, the goal is to use Embree to build the BVH and then to use it on something else than a GPU. I test everything on CUDA, but it should work with OpenCL.
