[RFC PATCHv2 0/3] dma_buf import support for vgem

From: Laura Abbott

Hi,

This is v2 of my proposal to add dma_buf import functions for vgem.
Big changes from v1:

- A device is required for dma_buf attach to work. The existing vgem driver
intentionally does not use one as it provides a good way to test the DRM
framework. This approach instead puts a dummy platform device in the existing
drm_device->platformdev field and uses that for attaching.
- Native vgem buffers can still be faulted in a page at a time without
requiring the entire buffer be resident in memory.

I'm still marking this as RFC as I haven't had a chance to finish
a userspace test that can be integrated into igt.

Feedback appreciated as always.

Thanks,
Laura
