Perhaps it would be okay to save space here by not repeating the 
description, like:

drm-comm-override: <valstr>
drm-cmdline-override: <valstr>

Long description blah blah...
This allows the proxy to make visible the _executable name *and* command 
line_ blah blah..

You could add a fast unlocked check before taking the mutex for no risk 
apart a transient false negative. For 99.9999% of userspace it would 
mean no pointless lock/unlock cycle.

I don't think this should go to drm just yet though. Only one driver can 
make use of it so I'd leave it for later and print from msm_show_fdinfo 
for now.
