Sure. I don't think it's super important. I was just trying to 
understand how the two patches fit together. I think it makes sense now. 
I discussed this also with Philip offline. We think there may be an 
easier way to solve the "wait for TLB flush before freeing BOs" thing, 
but I believe using the new TLB flush fence is architecturally cleaner, 
and that fence will be useful to solve some other issues that are either 
still lingering, or currently have only some ugly workarounds. I'll need 
to dig through the code and my memory to remember the details.

I'm still not sure whether the creation of the TLB flush fence should be 
limited to compute contexts, but I'm happy to get them at least there 
for now. The series is
