We need to give that child a different name, e.g. something like 
dma_fence_seq_write or something like that.

I was just about to complain that all dma_fence implementations need to 
be RCU save and only then saw that this isn't a dma_fence implementation.

Question: Why is that useful in the first place? At least AMD HW can 
write to basically all memory locations and even registers when a fence 
finishes?

Regards,
Christian.
