The lock is provided by the driver, which makes adding support for old hardware that has no reliable way of notifying completion of events easier.
I'm a bit confused here how it's possible to implement sync on hardware with "no reliable way of notifying completion of events." That seems like a non-starter to me.
I suspect Maarten meant "no reliable way of notifying completion *to the cpu*".. which isn't strictly needed for gpu<->gpu sharing.
