How?

What I'd expected here is that you add a dependency chain from one fence
to another, but this only has one fence. How do you figure out what's the
next dma_fence that will stall on this dependency? Like in the gpu
scheduler we do know what will be the fence that userspace gets back, so
we can make that connection. And same for the atomic code (although you
don't wire that up at all).

I'm very confused on how this works and rather worried it's a brittle
amdgpu-only solution ...
