ChromeOS/ARM doesn't use it... yet.  I've got a Chrome-side commit,
not in the tree yet, that would use it for zero-copying HW video
decoder textures, but it's pending resolution of a few issues
(including this one).  This has actually been the driver for me to
getting the spec/implementation nailed down for
EXT_image_dma_buf_import.
