The other complication I noticed is that we don't seem to keep around
the fd after importing to a GEM handle.  And I could imagine that
doing so could cause issues with too many fd's.  So I guess the best
thing is to keep the status quo and let drivers that cannot mmap
imported buffers just fail mmap?
