Not sure I understand the question.. the dma-buf fd could come from
EGL_MESA_image_dma_buf_export, gbm, or similar.

This ioctl provides that information from the exporting driver so that
a VMM doesn't have to make assumptions ;-)

Currently crosvm assumes if (drivername == "i915") then it is a cached
mapping, otherwise it is wc.  I'm trying to find a way to fix this.
Suggestions welcome, but because of how mapping to a guest VM works, a
VMM is a somewhat special case where this information is needed in
userspace.
