Previously the (non-fd) fence returned from submit ioctl was a raw seqno, which is scoped to the ring. But from UABI standpoint, the ioctls related to seqno fences all specify a submitqueue. We can take advantage of that to replace the seqno fences with a cyclic idr handle. This is in preperation for moving to drm scheduler, at which point the submit ioctl will return after queuing the submit job to the scheduler, but before the submit is written into the ring (and therefore before a ring seqno has been assigned). Which means we need to replace the dma_fence that userspace may need to wait on with a scheduler fence.

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.
