I'd define an accessor functions in scatterlist.h fashion.

Although I'm not convinced of packing the flags with the function
pointer. How many fences do we expect to be allocated simultaneously on
a real usage scenario?

if (list_empty_careful()
	return;

Not sure if I would expect _if_after to return true on an equal
object...

Do we really want to bitwise here?

Ditto.

Name is rather deceiving to contain a callback function.

Not packing would get rid of this too...

Not _signal?

_is_done() or _is_completed()
