Thanks! :)

There was some discussion about implementing these OpenCL C kernel
attributes some time ago [1]. The discussion somehow died.

The question raised there was why cannot we add these by default when
compiling OpenCL? This would enable pocl [2] to support these OpenCL
features for all LLVM targets. The OpenCL implementations that implement
the attributes in some other way can just ignore the metadata (except the
required work group size cannot be just ignored, AFAIK).
