Yes. There is currently no generic interface to get mmap offsets for
any gem bo (because some of them may not be mapped from user-space or
require extra parameters).

So, either support dumb-buffers (if you don't need any advanced
parameters like tiling or cache constraints), or add an
MMAP_OFFSET_IOCTL like you proposed (and most drivers do so).
