I'm noticing all our dma_fence_work_ops are named very briefly.
.name = "eb_parse" might be in order.

Onion teardown to dedupe code.

After de-duping, I think this is just fine as far as the fences come.
Kernel wouldn't initiate any requests in need of cmd parsing and some
work needs to be waited upon to free memory, the cmdparser will fail
gracefully as the only allocation is __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL.
The rest looks fine to me, too. We probably want another set of eyes
to also ack the clflushing correctness.
