{vendor, generation} is the natural format for the handling the profile
internally, yes. This will presumably involve string parsing of the
device name, yes :-(
However, the local memory available might vary between devices of the
same generation (think of desktop vs. mobile), so probably we extend it to:
{vendor, generation, min_local_mem_required}
If the device does not have enough local memory even though it is mapped
correctly to a certain generation, we simply fall back to a legacy
profile which stays within the 16kB.
