I looked at other drivers and they seem to have this
NO_FENCE/NO_IMPLICIT flag at the job/submit level and conditioned on
the presence of a in_sync_fd file. I can see per-BO NO_FENCE being
useful for sub-buffer accesses, assuming we don't want to deal with
other deps explicitly, but we could also force the NO_IMPLICIT behavior
for the whole job and let the user deal with all deps explicitly. TBH,
it's a bit unclear to me how that feature would be used by the vulkan
driver, so I'd rather leave that NO_FENCE use case for later.
