No, we cannot detect compute-only contexts yet. We need to add a new
parameter to pipe_context::context_create which says that a context is
compute-only. That should be OpenCL but not OpenGL.
Also, some code paths like resource_copy_region use the graphics
engine for copying, which cannot be used with compute rings and must
be implemented with either DMA or compute-based blits. DMA isn't
flexible enough, so some additional work for compute-based blits might
be needed. We can also use the graphics ring for copying only and the
compute ring for compute stuff.
