I think I've sorted that.  Have some other changes too, will probably
send v3 tomorrow.

Thanks.

While being at it:  I'm also looking at dma-buf export and import
support for the qemu drivers.

Right now both qxl and virtio have gem_prime_get_sg_table and
gem_prime_import_sg_table handlers which throw a WARN_ONCE() and return
an error.

If I understand things correctly it is valid to set all import/export
callbacks (prime_handle_to_fd, prime_fd_to_handle,
gem_prime_get_sg_table, gem_prime_import_sg_table) to NULL when not
supporting dma-buf import/export and still advertise DRIVER_PRIME to
indicate the other prime callbacks are supported (so generic fbdev
emulation can use gem_prime_vmap etc).  Is that correct?

On exporting:

TTM_PL_TT should be easy, just pin the buffer, grab the pages list and
feed that into drm_prime_pages_to_sg.  Didn't try yet though.  Is that
approach correct?

Is it possible to export TTM_PL_VRAM objects (with backing storage being
a pci memory bar)?  If so, how?

On importing:

Importing into TTM_PL_TT object looks easy again, at least when the
object is actually stored in RAM.  What if not?

Importing into TTM_PL_VRAM:  Impossible I think, without copying over
the data.  Should that be done?  If so, how?  Or is it better to just
not support import then?

thanks,
  Gerd
