If it's mandatory for fences (why is that?), then I guess this patch
should come before any of the fence implementation?
But it's not entirely clear to me what this flag means - ordered with
respect to what? Ordered such that the order in which the buffers are
queued in the driver are the same order that they will be dequeued by
userspace?
I think the order they are queued from userspace can still be
different from both the order they are queued in the driver (because
the in-fences can signal in any order), and dequeued again in
userspace, so "ordered" seems a bit ambiguous.
I think it should be more clear.
