This depends on the implementation. OpenCL code *can* be compiled to
run on the CPU, and for example Apple's implementation supports this,
but I believe some of the GPU vendor's implementations do not; that
is, they can only compile targetting the GPU, not the CPU.

But as Jeroen points out, OpenCL itself may not be available, so
separate fallback code is necessary regardless.
