Btw I am not suggesting removing the pragma. We will still have to parse it for 
backward compatibility. I am only dropping the requirement of using it in order 
to call `get_kernel_max_sub_group_size_for_ndrange` or 
`get_kernel_sub_group_count_for_ndrange` when the extension is supported. 
Because I don't see why this would be needed especially that all other 
functions from subgroups can be called without the pragma 
https://godbolt.org/z/MYavchPT3.

Btw the newer extension specs don't contain the pragma e.g.
https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenCL/specs/3.0-unified/html/OpenCL_Ext.html#_extended_subgroup_functions

Right now we have the following in the docs: 
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/OpenCLSupport.html#implementation-guidelines

  Note that some legacy extensions (published prior to OpenCL 3.0) still 
provide some non-conformant functionality for pragmas e.g. add diagnostics on 
the use of types or functions. This functionality is not guaranteed to remain 
in future releases. However, any future changes should not affect backward 
compatibility.

This is not quite deprecation but it makes it clear that the behavior can 
change as soon as backward compatibility is preserved.

Would you like us to add or ammend anything?
