There isn't one ready for use, and adding a new one (to wait for the
garbage collection having released something) just for a clean shutdown
looked a bit like overkill.

But after digging a bit more and looking at the qxl_fence_wait() mess I
think adding a wait queue looks like a good idea ...

v5 coming soon ...

take care,
