I think the fd and other parameters should be part of the GstMemory and the
allocator can be made a singleton then. It should also be possible to e.g. let
filesrc create such memory instead of only using it for random allocations. The
name should probably be GstMappedFileMemory or GstMMapMemory.

Take a look at gst-plugins-base/gst-libs/gst/allocators btw, that already
contains a dmabuf allocator which is very similar (but should be kept
separate). Could you merge your allocator into that library too?
