Wouldn't work as-is, but when ttm bo are a subclass of gem bos should
be possible to create something usable based on it.

Related question: why there is no drm_gem_object_funcs.mmap() callback?
I think it would make sense to have a callback where the bo-specific
setup can be done, i.e. what ttm_bo_mmap() or drm_gem_shmem_mmap() are
doing, and have some generic function which basically does the lookup,
then dispatches.

cheers,
