BOINC detects CUDA and OpenCL

Tested:  Plasma desktop; using Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Ktorrent, Nextcloud client, Syncthing, Firefox ESR with video, flatpak Firefox (slow), java program FriBOK, ... 

Tests as VirtualBox Host:

Guest 1: my usual MSW7pro-64, tests OK: dynamic guest window resizing, bidirectional clipboard, host shared folders write protected and not, USB2  memory stick read&write (using upstream extension pack), video playing in Firefox, but picture often freezes for a couple seconds, and it is not bandwidth problems.

I've removed the kmods for this kernel update so vbox update in bug 30567 can be validated first

Testing again on same system as comment 1, specifically VirtualBox guests;

Removed the 5.18.5 packages a couple days ago, now reinstalled incl virtualbox-kernel-5.18.5-desktop-1.mga8-6.1.34-2.20.mga8.x86_64.rpm

Guest 1, MS Windows 7: still problem with videos pictures stopping for seconds (specifically tested videos of svtplay.se).  They work OK when host is booted with kernel 5.15.48.

Guest2: BOINC VirtualBox workunits working OK. (not tested before on this kernel)


For the guest video problem, should I try the later nvidia driver and/or something else in testing / backport?

putting on hold for another needed fix
