There is a construct in the linux kernel called 'struct fence' that is intended
to keep track of work that is executed on hardware. I.e. it solves the basic
problem that the drivers 'struct drm_i915_gem_request' is trying to address. The
request structure does quite a lot more than simply track the execution progress
so is very definitely still required. However, the basic completion status side
could be updated to use the ready made fence implementation and gain all the
advantages that provides.

This patch makes the first step of integrating a struct fence into the request.
It replaces the explicit reference count with that of the fence. It also
replaces the 'is completed' test with the fence's equivalent. Currently, that
simply chains on to the original request implementation. A future patch will
improve this.

Would it be nicer to add fence_put_mutex(struct fence *, struct mutex *) for this? It would avoid the layering violation of requests peeking into fence implementation details.

Could you store fence_base in dev_priv and then ring->init_hw could set up the fence_context on its own?
