You mean it tries to qualesce fences in the same context down to just
the last one? That's how it's supposed to be done, and
fence_collections do break this somewhat. Without fixing up
fence_is_later and friends. Sounds like amdgpu is a good use case to
make sure the changes in semantics in these functions result in
sensible code. In a way a fence_collection is a fence where the
timeline never matches with any other timeline (since it's a
combiation).

And yeah I think fence_collection should probably compress down the
fences to 1 per timeline. But then that's just an implementation
detail we can fix later on.
