Packing things into the low bits seems a bit sketchy but it works so long
as we only have the two flag bits.

It's currently right after we call

        out_fence = sync_file_create(&eb.request->fence);

which is before eb_submit().  Are sync files wrong?  Note that I was
careful to ensure that there are no error paths after syncobj_replace_fence
so we know for 100% sure that it will be committed, hence the comment.

You clearly have a version of this patch somewhere.  Where can I find it?
