Oh hornets nest since I just screamed around again against drm prime mmap
support ;-) Imo before we expose this for real we really need to somehow
figure out what to do about cache coherency. Some intel folks are looking
into adding suitable ioctls to the dma-buf fd to make this possible. I
think we should wait with enabling drm prime mmaping before that's
resolved somehow. I'll point them at your patches though to make sure they
don't reinvent this wheel here.
