CL_MEM_USE_HOST_PTR overhead

Hi,

I would like to confirm whether CL_MEM_USE_HOST_PTR has extra overhead, such as memory copy, on Mali G72.  

According to ARM OpenCL Optimization Guide, using CL_MEM_USE_HOST_PTR is discouraged.

"8.3.3 Do not create buffers with CL_MEM_USE_HOST_PTR if possible"

Thanks,

Jeff
