Uh, it would have been really good if this was discussed a bit wider
beforehand. Now we have rather diverging approaches to this. Also would be
really good to resurrect the dma_fence annotations too.
Can you guys pls spend a bit of time on this? Shouldn't be to hard to type
up rfc conversion patches for the other drivers.

Ah yes this works becase drm/sched has separate hw fence from the logical
job fence.
