PoCL 7.2 adds official OpenCL 3.0 conformance support for RISC-V and x86_64 CPU architectures

WHY IT MATTERS

OpenCL 3.0 conformance on RISC-V and x86_64 expands portable compute options for engineers targeting heterogeneous hardware. This reduces reliance on vendor-specific implementations for CPU-based OpenCL workloads.
