So since gbm_bo_import() is already verifying that the handle is
suitable for the use case, would it not be wiser to check it return in
case it has to reject the handle for any other reason, or on the off
chance that the scanout can read from any buffer? Not that I'm
advocating remapping user vma like that behind the callers back!
