Add a way for userspace to specify the sequence number fence used to track completion of the submit. As the seqno fence is simply an incrementing counter which is local to the submitqueue, it is easy for userspace to know the next value. This is useful for native userspace drivers in a vm guest, as the guest to host roundtrip can have high latency. Assigning the fence seqno in the guest userspace allows the guest to continue without waiting for response from the host.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
