Hm. This sounds like we'd want to invalidate a specific mapping.

Aside: Overlapping mappings being explicitly allowed should be in the
docs. The current kerneldoc for invalidate leaves that up for
interpretation. This answers one of the questions I had overnight, about
whether we expect ->invalidate to tear down the mapping or not.

Imo a better semantics would be that ->invalidate must tear down the
mapping, but the exporter must delay actual unmap until all fences have
cleared. Otherwise you could end up with fun stuff where the exporter
releases the memory (it wanted to invalidate after all), while the
importer still has a mapping around. That's not going to end well I think.

That would also solve the issue of getting an invalidate while you map, at
least if we filter per attachment.
