-	 * A set of bonded requests is intended to be run concurrently

-	 * and a magic fence to schedule each of the bonded requests
-	 * at the same time. A consequence of our current scheduler is that
-	 * we only move requests to the HW ready queue when the request
-	 * becomes ready, that is when all of its prerequisite fences have
-	 * been signaled. As one of those fences is the master submit fence,
-	 * there is a delay on all secondary fences as the HW may be
-	 * currently busy. Equally, as all the requests are independent,
-	 * they may have other fences that delay individual request
-	 * submission to HW. Ergo, we do not guarantee that all requests are
-	 * immediately submitted to HW at the same time, just that if the
-	 * rules are abided by, they are ready at the same time as the
-	 * first is submitted. Userspace can embed semaphores in its batch
-	 * to ensure parallel execution of its phases as it requires.
-	 * Though naturally it gets requested that perhaps the scheduler should
-	 * take care of parallel execution, even across preemption events on
-	 * different HW. (The proper answer is of course "lalalala".)
-	 *
-	 * With the submit-fence, we have identified three possible phases
-	 * of synchronisation depending on the master fence: queued (not
-	 * ready), executing, and signaled. The first two are quite simple
-	 * and checked below. However, the signaled master fence handling is
-	 * contentious. Currently we do not distinguish between a signaled
-	 * fence and an expired fence, as once signaled it does not convey
-	 * any information about the previous execution. It may even be freed
-	 * and hence checking later it may not exist at all. Ergo we currently
-	 * do not apply the bonding constraint for an already signaled fence,
-	 * as our expectation is that it should not constrain the secondaries
-	 * and is outside of the scope of the bonded request API (i.e. all
-	 * userspace requests are meant to be running in parallel). As
-	 * it imposes no constraint, and is effectively a no-op, we do not
-	 * check below as normal execution flows are checked extensively above.
-	 *
-	 * XXX Is the degenerate handling of signaled submit fences the
-	 * expected behaviour for userpace?
