Why? These fence_default_.. functions are fence_ops and not related to
fence_timeline in any way.

Sure. I've been thinking on how to split this properly. I'm trying to
add a bunch of clean up/renaming first, eg the sync_fence rename to
sync_file that Daniel Vetter and I discussed.
Next my plan would be move sync_timeline to fence_timeline, add the
fence_default.. fence_ops, clean up sw_sync and finally merge
fence_context and fence_timeline.
Looking at how sync and fence It looks easier to me to de-stage sync_timeline
first than userspace
fence.
