The DMA-BUFs themselves shouldn't be needed, but GEMs should.

I can't instantly recall what other drivers do, could be worthwhile to
take a closer look.

Yes, this sounds good to me if DMA-BUF part is replaced with a GEM.
Please see my other reply regarding the MAP IOCTL where I'm suggesting
to back mapping IDs with a GEM.
