Are temporary, permanent terms from the Vk spec? 

My understanding is that the temporary semaphore is a snapshot of the
fences (sync_file), used once then reset. The permanent semaphore is a
reservation_object (accessed via a bo), it is a volatile collection of
fences that serves as a communication channel between processes.

A synopsis of the differences and use would be invaluable.
