Thanks for catching that.

We don't use the uapi parts, we currently only using the fencing and
signaling ability of this module inside our kernel code. But maybe I
didn't understand what you request. You want us *not* to use this
well-written piece of kernel code because it is only used by graphics
drivers ?
I'm sorry but I don't get this argument, if this is indeed what you meant.
