Sounds like you misread what I said.

As of
commit 358661c794573b9a361309d477fe09880773ef73

    i965: Add intel_screen::has_fence_fd

    This bool maps to I915_PARAM_HAS_EXEC_FENCE_FD.

we use the i915_drm.h define I915_PARAM_HAS_EXEC_FENCE. The latter is
provided by libdrm commit

commit a3d715ee14b29d2680ceaf44955679205795140c

    Import uapi/i915_drm.h from v4.10-rc5-950-g152d5750dda9

    To sync with "drm/i915: Support explicit fencing for execbuf"

i915_drm.h _must_ be part of your libdrm-dev package. If not, it's
broken and you should report to your distro.

Thanks
