dma-buf provides a generic fence class for interoperation between
drivers. Internally we use the request structure as a fence, and so with
only a little bit of interfacing we can rebase those requests on top of
dma-buf fences. This will allow us, in the future, to pass those fences
back to userspace or between drivers.

This seems to be doing the same thing as John Harrison's patch

[PATCH 05/13] drm/i915: Convert requests to use struct fence

Likewise you both have a patch to remove lazy coherency, and various other duplications:

[PATCH 06/13] drm/i915: Removed now redudant parameter to i915_gem_request_completed()
[PATCH 08/13] drm/i915: Delay the freeing of requests until retire time

These will have to be unified; we just have to pick exactly how to make each of these improvements.
