<pre>A couple of things:
- being able to mmap() dmabufs is not only not guaranteed, but also not
implemented by DRM/KMS exporters
- dma_buf_export isn't merged into Mesa, hasn't even been proposed for
merging, and is unlikely to see wide adoption for a spectacular variety of
issues (tl;dr: importing is easy - exporting forces you to change the entire
buffer allocation process - and given we've never been able to agree on generic
buffer allocation ...)
I've no particular opinion on the rest.</pre>
