Description
We now support Drupal7 hashes on CPU and on FPGA, but apparently not on GPU. This is weird. We should probably add an OpenCL implementation. This is similar to but simpler than sha512crypt, which we do have in OpenCL. This is in other ways similar to phpass, which we also do have in OpenCL. Combining these into a drupal7-opencl format shouldn't be too hard.

Research direction
Start by reading the existing OpenCL implementations for sha512crypt and phpass, then compare their structure with the supported Drupal7 CPU and FPGA formats. The work is done when a drupal7-opencl format is supported on GPU and its behavior matches the existing Drupal7 implementations.
