I was and should have realized that. Still, it got me looking at the
right area. The virgl driver is missing a BO handle hash table for
prime fd handles. It is only doing handle lookups for shared handles.
I've fixed that, but have broken the shared handle hashing in the
process. Looking at other drivers, it appears I need to have 2 hash
tables. I'm guessing shared handles and prime handles are from
different number spaces?

Looks like this was the main problem. With screen ref counting and
prime handle lookups, virgl seems to be working now.
The radeon driver also does the same ref counting. Shouldn't this be
common code rather than duplicated in each driver?
