These smem_ fields are clearly designed for PCI BARs of traditional 
graphics cards. So can we even assume contiguous memory for DMA? That 
was my assumption, but with IOMMUs it might not be the case. Fbdev-dma 
only sets smem_start to support a single old userspace driver. Maybe we 
should further restrict usage of this field by making it opt-in for each 
driver. Best regards Thomas
