Android syncpoints can be mapped to a timeline. This removes the need
to maintain a separate api for synchronization. I've left the android
trace events in place, but the core fence events should already be
sufficient for debugging.

v2:
- Call fence_remove_callback in sync_fence_free if not all fences have fired.
v3:
- Merge Colin Cross' bugfixes, and the android fence merge optimization.
v4:
- Merge with the upstream fixes.

Snipped everything but headers - Ian Lister from our android team is
signed up to have a more in-depth look at proper integration with android
syncpoints. Adding him to cc.

Hm, embedding feels wrong, since that still means that I'll need to
implement two kinds of fences in i915 - one using the seqno fence to make
dma-buf sync work, and one to implmenent sync_pt to make the android folks
happy.

If I can dream I think we should have a pointer to an underlying fence
here, i.e. a struct sync_pt would just be a userspace interface wrapper to
do explicit syncing using native fences, instead of implicit syncing like
with dma-bufs. But this is all drive-by comments from a very cursory
high-level look. I might be full of myself again ;-)

No, the idea is that because android syncpoint is simply another type of
dma-fence, that if you deal with normal fences then android can
automatically be handled too. The userspace fence api android exposes
could be very easily made to work for dma-fence, just pass a dma-fence
to sync_fence_create.
So exposing dma-fence would probably work for android too.
Hm, then why do we still have struct sync_pt around? Since it's just the
internal bit, with the userspace facing object being struct sync_fence,
I'd opt to shuffle any useful features into the core struct fence.
-Daniel
To keep compatibility with the android api. I think that gradually converting them is going to be
more useful than to force all drivers to use a new api all at once. They could keep android
syncpoint api for exporting, as long as they accept dma-fence for importing/waiting.
