    Well, I think that for backwards compatibility (userspace not knowing
    about fence_fd field), we should return 0, unless the flags are explicitly
    set.

    That is what the doc says and it sounds sane.

    The bits are implemented in patch 12, but as I mentioned in my reply to
    patch 10, I will move it to patch 10, for consistency.

    Thanks,
