Actually the i915 reset stuff relies crucially on being able to kick
all waiters holding driver locks. Since the current fence code only
exposes an opaque wait function without exposing the underlying wait
queue we won't be able to sleep on both the fence queue and the reset
queue. So would pose a problem if we add fence_wait calls to our
driver.
