[PATCH 2/3] dma-buf: Add DMA_BUF_IOCTL_GET_DMA_ADDR

[Nicolas Dufresne]

Hi Bastien,

To me this API is against all safe practice we've been pushing forward
and has no place in DMA_BUF API.

If this is fine for the UIO subsystem to pass around physicial
addresses, then make this part of the UIO device ioctl.

regards,
Nicolas
