Now that the user can opt-out of implicit fencing, we need to give them

other sync_file fds and pass back to the kernel to wait upon before
future execution.

I didn't see a response to the suggestion of renaming rsvd2 to something more useful or even replacing it with a pair of u32 values instead. At the very least, I think it is worth adding a comment to the structure declaration to say that the field is actually in use for something now.
