https://reviews.llvm.org/D60455 updates

Applied all the comments from Aaron and waiting for approval. There is one question to https://reviews.llvm.org/p/arphaman/ about clang/test/Misc/pragma-attribute-supported-attributes-list.test.

Driver options

• --sycl alias has been deleted. Make sure it's not used in your code base.
• Alexey sent an RFC to Clang developers mailing list seeking guidance for SYCL specific options naming.
• Generalization of Intel specific options (e.g. -intelfpga, -intelcpu, etc.).
  • AR Alexey to look at triSYCL implementation of an -intelfpga analog and check if we can generalize the option to make it useful for other vendors/back-ends.

Using Discord/Disclosure for SYCL upstreaming related discussions?

• Alexey: Did anyone try these tools?
• Hal: You can try them out, but for high-visibility discussions mailing lists should be used at the moment.
• Nevin: didn't try yet.
• Alexey: Whether it's useful to post SYCL working group meeting notes to the mailing list?
• Hal: yes.
• Hal: LLVM foundation working on infrastructure for supporting working groups: e.g. working group meetings calendar.
