Yeah, and the android hwc does this for you already. You get passed a
surface (or whatever it's called exactly) plus a fence, and the
surface contains the gralloc/native buffer thing, which would contain
multiple dma-buf handles if your hw does planar stuff that way.

I think everyone else who wants explicit fencing will go with the same
or similar model, so it's just about implicit fencing. And there we
can easily construct the fence_collection from a drm_framebuffer
ourselves with a small helper in each driver (or shared one in cma,
although cma doesn't yet grok reserverations/implicitly attached
fences).
