What's the difference between __declspec and __attribute__ directives when ensuring that a function/variable is visible on the coprocessor?

Nothing.  __attribute__ is Linux syntax; __declspec is the Windows syntax and the only form the Intel C++ compiler for Windows accepts; however, the Intel C/C++ compiler for Linux accepts both.
