- Intro section that links to how this is exposed to userspace. - Lots more hyperlinks. - Minor clarifications and style polish

v2: Add misplaced hunk of kerneldoc from a different patch.

This is + * called explicit fencing, since userspace passes around explicit + * synchronization points. + * + * - Some subsystems also have their own explicit fencing primitives, like + * &drm_syncobj. Compared to &sync_file, a &drm_syncobj allows the underlying + * fence to be updated. + * + * - Then there's also implicit fencing, where the synchronization points are + * implicitly passed around as part of shared &dma_buf instances.
