Subject: [PATCH v1] virtio-gpu: Document new fence-passing feature


Document new virtio-gpu protocol fence-passing feature that extends 3d
submit command with support of in-fences which are passed from guest to
host for waiting. This feature allows to offload waiting for in-fences
from guest to host, where it can be done more efficiently.
