Well I can only repeat myself: This is strictly illegal.

Please try this approach with CONFIG_DMABUF_DEBUG set. I'm pretty sure 
you will immediately run into a crash.

See this here as well 
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.19/source/drivers/dma-buf/dma-buf.c#L653

Daniel intentionally added code to mangle the page pointers to make it 
impossible for KVM to do this.

If the virtio/virtgpu UAPI was build around the idea that this is 
possible then it is most likely fundamental broken.

Regards,
Christian.
