Yeah, the patch got lost somewhere, I'm sorry...

TBH, I don't know why pointers in structs or arrays were disallowed in the 
first place. Even OpenCL 1.2 does not say it explicitly, although there is a 
bit suspicious point in s6.9.p:

  Arguments to kernel functions that are declared to be a struct or union do 
not allow
  OpenCL objects to be passed as elements of the struct or union

It does not say "pointers", just "OpenCL objects". Sounds more like events or 
images to me, not pointers.
