I need to know the start and end of the ring contents associated with
each fence.  When I re-emit, I just copy over the ring contents for
all fences that don't match the bad one.  Also we submit multiple
fences per IB depending on whether we do a vm flush.  Those fences are
internal to the IB frame so they don't really need a start and end,
hence 0.

You mean pass the fence directly?

I'm not following. I need the start and end wptrs in order to know
what ranges of the ring I need to save.

I'm not sure I follow.  When I backup the ring contents, I need to go
from oldest to newest so the order is correct when I re-emit.
