Drop outdated README.Debian
The Haswell issues are now adequately covered elsewhere;
high precision is now also the upstream default

-"Beignet: self-test failed" / no device
----------------------------------------
-
-On Haswell (mostly Core ix-4xxx) hardware, shared local memory (__local)
-does not work at all on Linux <= 4.0, and requires the i915.enable_ppgtt=2
-boot parameter (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters)
-on Linux 4.1. This will be fixed in Linux 4.2.
-
-To avoid silently wrong results, beignet performs a self-test on load and
-hides devices where __local does not work. If you do not need __local,
-you can override the self-test with
-
- export OCL_IGNORE_SELF_TEST=1
-
-Precision vs. Speed
--------------------
-
-Debian's beignet 1.0.2+ (unlike the upstream version) defaults to
-OpenCL-standard-compliant precision, to avoid breaking applications written
-on other hardware that may assume this.
-
-This slows down some of the math functions as they cannot use the
-(lower-precision) native instructions: most only moderately (eg. ~30%
-for sin/cos) but ~10-fold for pow and rootn (though not pown or sqrt).
-Applications that prefer speed to precision may use the native_* functions.
