ttm still uses the offset, now added in ttm_bo_mmap_obj().  So, for
normal mmap behavior did not change I think.  The simplistic dma-buf
mmap did change, it now uses the offset because it goes through
ttm_bo_mmap_obj() too.

Not fully sure which address space is used for dma-bufs though.  As far
I can see neither the old nor the new dma-buf mmap code path touch
vma->vm_file (unless the driver does explicitly care, like msm does in
msm_gem_mmap_obj).

Hmm, looking at drm_gem_shmem_purge_locked I'm wondering why it uses a
mix of dev->anon_inode->i_mapping and file_inode(obj->filp)->i_mapping.

Also shmem helpers used a zero vm_pgoff before, only difference is the
change is applied in drm_gem_mmap_obj() now instead of somewhere in the
shmem helper code.

slightly confused,
