nvcc (CUDA) only supports a literal integer constant.  icc seems to support
only literal constants as well.  xlc supports integer constant expressions.
 Given xlc and icc share the same syntax ("#pragma unroll (_value_)") there
is no way to be perfectly compatible with both icc and xlc so I'm inclined
to support expressions in "#pragma unroll" as planned with the other loop
pragmas and just be more permissive than nvcc and icc.
