I would agree. It's not just about barriers but in many cases where you
have multiple mappings by hardware devices the actual hardware interface
is specific to the devices. Just take a look at the fencing in TTM and
the graphics drivers.

Its not something the low level API can deal with, it requires high level
knowledge.
