nvidia-340 silently breaks OpenCL support with older hardware

Hi everyone,

Nvidia has dropped support for OpenCL with older hardware, that is to say card with compute capability below 1.3 (https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus).

However, some users experienced situations where OpenCL based software still ran but produced incorrect results:
- https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topi … 1-x-cards/
- http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=9705

I don't know if nvidia-304 can support the GPUs that 340 supports, I will test it soon on my older computer.

Be careful when upgrading.

Regards.
