Ok sounds like we add some shared fence which doesn't depend on the 
exclusive one to finish. That is of course highly problematic for the 
current handling.

It might be that this happens with the TTM move fence, but I don't of 
hand know either how to prevent that.

Question at Daniel and others: Can we finally drop this assumption that 
all shared fences must finish after the exclusive one?

Thanks for pointing this out Xinhui,
Christian.
