Unable to run SPIR code with Intel's OpenCL drivers

I am unable to pass a pointer to a kernel using intel's OpenCL drivers for Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1245 v3 @ 3.40GHz on Linux.

I was able to get the program to work using AMD's CPU OpenCL drivers instead.

Any idea what the issue could be?

Also, I've been able to execute SPIR kernels on intel that do not have pointer arguments.

I uploaded the example program and kernel I've been working with.
