I think for the mock scheduler it works to share the lock, but I don't 
think see that the commit message is correct. Where do you see the 
requirement to share the lock? AFAIK fence->lock is a fence lock, 
nothing more semantically.

And what does "ensuring that only one fence gets signalled at a time" 
mean? You mean signal in seqno order? Even that is not guaranteed in the 
contract due opportunistic signalling.
