This is where I come from on dmabuf, it is fiendishly
complicated. Don't use it unless you absoultely have to, are in DRM,
and have people like Daniel helping to make sure you use it right.

It's whole premise and design is compromised by specialty historical
implementation choices on the GPU side.
