Hm for mmap I think the explicit sync makes sense (we might even want
to do it in userspace). Not so sure it's a great idea for read/write
... I guess we'd need to see what people have/had in mind for the
userspace for this to decide.

Only other thought I have on this is that many dma-buf exporters don't
bother with the kmap/kunmap interface (probably fewer than those who
bother with kernel vmap and mmap), maybe we want at least a vmap
fallback for this. Or maybe just use that as an excuse to get more
people to wire up the kmap stuff :-)
