In the class Device there is a method Param::return_type get_info() which returns Device information descriptors.
The one of them is info::device::is_available with the description:

Returns true if the SYCL device is available and returns false if the device is not available.

What does this availability mean? - This information is missing in the specifications.
Does it mean that device just available in the system in general? Or does it mean that the device is ready for execution?

Also it's not clear if this status can be changed in runtime (e.g. from available to not_available) or its static.
