9	  The Sync File Framework adds explicit syncronization via
10	  userspace. It enables send/receive 'struct fence' objects to/from
11	  userspace via Sync File fds for synchronization between drivers via
12	  userspace components. It has been ported from Android.
13
14	  The first and main user for this is graphics in which a fence is
15	  associated with a buffer. When a job is submitted to the GPU a fence
16	  is attached to the buffer and is transferred via userspace, using Sync
17	  Files fds, to the DRM driver for example. More details at
18	  Documentation/sync_file.txt.
