Isn't ROCm replaced HSA?

ROCm uses HSA, but doesn't replace it.

Okay, but POCL documentation mentions three years old HSA repo instead of ROCm: http://portablecl.org/docs/html/hsa.html

I guess it's simply means that POCL doesn't work on modern hardware (supported by ROCm but unsupported by HSA, as we see: "experimental HSA driver works with AMD Kaveri or Carrizo APUs").
