Description

Following on from a discussion in https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SYCL-Docs/pull/382 which proposed clarification to the wording of memory capability queries. It was discussed (https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SYCL-Docs/pull/382#discussion_r1201798508) that there may be value in expanding the concept of system-level synchronization and the memory scope queries in order to represent platforms where system-level synchronization may be available between some devices and not others.
