That's not the problem, amdgpu as well as nouveau are doing that as 
well. The problem is DMA-buf is a buffer sharing framework between drivers.

In other words which importer is supposed to use this with a DMA-buf 
exported by another device?

Exactly that's the point. This is something drivers should absolutely 
*NOT* do.

That are driver internals and it is extremely questionable to move this 
into the common framework.
