I haven't yet had time to check the access policies of the new VMA 
offset manager, but anything that is identical or stricter than the 
current vmwgfx verify_access() would be fine. If it's stricter however, 
we need to double-check backwards user-space compatibility.

IIRC this function or a derivative thereof is used heavily in an 
upcoming version driver, so if possible, please add a corrected version 
rather than remove the (currently) unused code. This will trigger a 
merge error and the upcoming code can be more easily corrected.

No. A ttm ref object is rather similar to a generic GEM object, only 
that it's generic in the sense that it is not restricted to buffers, and 
can make any desired object visible to user-space. So translated the 
below code removes a reference that the arg->handle holds on the "gem" 
object, potentially destroying the whole object in which the "gem" 
object is embedded.

Otherwise looks OK to me.
