The current implementation of atomic optimization uses DPP with WWM for
scan computations. This new command line argument has exactly the same
behavior as old amdgpu-atomic-optimizations.
The new approach proposed in D147408, required to have two different
code paths for DPP and iterative scan. The implementation will be
selected based on this command line argument.
This will allow the the graphics pipeline to set the new argument
instead of the old one.
Two flags to enable the same pass is bad, and this doesn't change the pass behavior. The behavior change could be a pass parameter.
