That could would be interesting. On i915 my plan is to internally use
the recently added struct fence from Maarten. For the external
interface for userspace that wants explicit control over fences I'm
leaning towards polishing the android syncpt stuff (currently in
staging). But in any case I _really_ want to avoid that we end up with
multiple different and incompatible explicit fencing interfaces on
linux.

Adding relevant people.
