Thomas Dinges fb3f32760d Cycles: Add an experimental CUDA kernel.
Now we build 2 .cubins per architecture (e.g. kernel_sm_21.cubin, kernel_experimental_sm_21.cubin).
The experimental kernel can be used by switching to the Experimental Feature Set: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Experimental_Features

This enables Subsurface Scattering and Correlated Multi Jitter Sampling on GPU, while keeping the stability and performance of the regular kernel.

Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D762
Patch by Sergey and myself.

Developer / Builder Note:
CUDA Toolkit 6.5 is highly recommended for this, also note that building the experimental kernel requires a lot of system memory (~7-8GB).
