Ah, very nice, I somehow missed it.

I guess one issue is that explicit sync isn't quite plumbed through
compositors yet, so without Jason's DMA-BUF to sync_file IOCTL it'd be
a bit difficult to use.

Can anybody set the deadline? I wonder if clients should be allowed to.

What happens if the deadline is exceeded? I'd assume nothing in
particular, the deadline being just a hint?
