I plan to usurp the short name of struct fence for a core kernel struct, and so I need to rename the specialised fence/timeline for DMA operations to make room.
As an indication of the scale of the flag day:

Just the highlights shown below.
+1 on dma_fence, for more consistency with dma_buf and everything else dma_*. I think if we land this right before/after 4.8-rc1 through the drm tree it should be minimally invasive. Worst case we'll have a fun merge between drm.git and drm-intel.git (since drm-intel-next-queued doesn't get closed while the merge window is open).
+1 from me, we just need to make sure we don't create any merge issue.
