Gerd, do you have any objections to merging this series?

We have AMDGPU [1] and Intel [2] native context WIP drivers depending on
the sync object support. It is the only part missing from kernel today
that is wanted by the native context drivers. Otherwise, there are few
other things in Qemu and virglrenderer left to sort out.
