Noticed while reviewing a patch from Eric. Also add a todo for the
dumb_map_offset callbacks (it should be simple to do, but piles of
work). Plus fix up vbox, because vbox.

+Remove custom dumb_map_offset implementations
+---------------------------------------------

+All GEM based drivers should be using drm_gem_create_mmap_offset() instead.
+Audit each individual driver, make sure it'll work with the generic
+implementation (there's lots of outdated locking leftovers in various
+implementations), and then remove it.
