Yeah they can be swapped out on suspend, but that's different that 
buffers which are explicitly marked as being allowed to exist in either 
region at runtime.

AFAIR we forbid that, but my point was more that there is shared memory 
and shared memory, not related to dma-buf I mean. Just that two 
processes could create two userptr objects from the same shared memory 
block. Memory accounting is as always complicated.
