-/**
- * DOC: Set of utilities to dynamically collect dependencies and
- * eventually coalesce them into a single fence which is fed into
- * the GT migration code, since it only accepts a single dependency
- * fence.
- * The single fence returned from these utilities, in the case of
- * dependencies from multiple fence contexts, a struct dma_fence_array,
- * since the i915 request code can break that up and await the individual
- * fences.
- *
- * Once we can do async unbinding, this is also needed to coalesce
- * the migration fence with the unbind fences.
- *
- * While collecting the individual dependencies, we store the refcounted
- * struct dma_fence pointers in a realloc-managed pointer array, since
- * that can be easily fed into a dma_fence_array. Other options are
- * available, like for example an xarray for similarity with drm/sched.
- * Can be changed easily if needed.
- *
- * A struct i915_deps need to be initialized using i915_deps_init().
- * If i915_deps_add_dependency() or i915_deps_add_resv() return an
- * error code they will internally call i915_deps_fini(), which frees
- * all internal references and allocations.
- *
- * We might want to break this out into a separate file as a utility.
