Yeah, but that doesn't seems to be valid.

See the dma_fence should more or less be a contained object and you now 
expose quite a bit of the internal functionality inside a headers.

And creating headers which when included make other drivers fail to 
compile sounds like a rather bad idea to me.

Please explain the background a bit more.

Thanks,
Christian.
