That's okay, if it was really urgent I would have re-raised the thread 
earlier. :) As it stands so far it is only about acceptance test suites 
failing and no known real use cases affected.

Hm right, however why does drm_gem_shmem_mmap:

	if (obj->import_attach) {
		ret = dma_buf_mmap(obj->dma_buf, vma, 0);

Isn't that allowing drivers which use the helper to to forward to 
dma_buf_mmap? Maybe I am getting lost in the forest of callbacks in this 
area.. Because it is supposed to be about shmem objects, but drivers 
which use the helper and rely on common prime import look and also use 
drm_gem_shmem_prime_import_sg_table can get there.
