@bader, these attributes are enabled during both host and device compilation.
The semantic effects here are specific to device compilation so we need to
check for `SYCLIsDevice`.
I'm not in favor of your first suggestion because I think it is useful to keep
the comments colocated with their associated checks. The second suggestion is
ok, but I don't see it as an improvement since it implies grouping where there
is no need to group and might mislead future contributors to think they should
place SYCL related checks there when that might not be correct. The optimizer
will effectively transform the current code into your suggestion anyway.
