[PATCH 1/2] drm/ttm: add a way to bo_wait for either the last read or last write

[Thomas Hellstrom]

Marek,

The problem is that the patch adds a lot of complicated code where it's 
not needed, and I don't want to end up reverting that code and 
re-implementing the new Radeon gem ioctl by myself.

Having a list of two fence objects and waiting for either of them 
shouldn't be that complicated to implement, in particular when it's done 
in a driver-specific way and you have the benefit of assuming that they 
are ordered.

Since the new functionality is a performance improvement, If time is an 
issue, I suggest we back this change out and go for the next merge window.
