this is slightly confusing, as you start with saying that you've found 
something but then below you start with what you've changed. I'd reword 
to make it clearer what were the issues and how they've been fixed.

This last point applies to the gen9 fillfunc only. I'd also mention that 
the gen8 interface descriptor applies to gen9+ as well for extra clarity.

1 seems like a safe value which applies to all platforms and it doesn't 
change execution time (gem_gpgpu_fill still completes in ~0.2s on SKL 
with this change applied) so it seems reasonable to me to use it, but 
it'd be nice to get an ack by someone more experienced with the gpgpu 
pipeline.

need more indent here.

Apart from the various nitpicks the change looks good to me.
