You can mix it, if you're careful. CrOS wants that to better mesh android
with Ozone, and we'll be discussing what needs to be added to be able to
make it work implicit and explicit fencing work together, in both
directions. Of course this should only be used for shared buffers, e.g.
explicit syncing in an android client running on top of implicitly synced
ozone/kms.
