The HSAIL/BRIG consuming front-end has not been removed, as opposed to
the HSAIL/BRIG emitting back-end which was, and is still part of the
compiler, so this should not have been applied, I'm afraid.
Given the state of HSAIL, the front-end is probably not very useful
either and so we may remove it in near term too, but it seems to still
mostly work and causes no trouble, so at least for now it stayed.
Can you please revert this?
Thanks,
Martin
