Meh, reviewers are fickle. I'm pretty sure I have not changed the code
from since the last time I put it in front of you. Much. ;-)

Ah. That was to make sure you were paying attention. last_fenced_seqno was
the guard.
last_fenced_ring is the complexity that holds it all together sadly. Every
time I try to eliminate it, I keep coming back to it as the cleanest
solution.

Right, the choice of setting last_fenced_seqno to 0 in move_off_active() or
move_to_inactive() doesn't impact upon flush_fence.

Must remember to use this trick of point in eyesores to distract from the

Oh, this is absolutely vital. Too tired, and this is definitely one that
has to be explained whilst fresh.
