I do not think compute shaders have similar needs. These flags are for making sure the
rasterizer-wm thingy in Gen spawns the fragment shader threads. Compute kernels
are not (I believe) spawned by the raster-wm thing, as they do not actually use the pipeline
(rather they use L3, samplers and EU's only essentially).
