That sounds great. Is there anything I can do to help out? I thought this
was more or less a dead end since the current dma_mmap_ API requires the
mmap_sem to be held in write mode (modifying the vma->vm_flags) whereas
fault() only offers read mode. But that would definitely work.
We'll just need to split into a setup and faul phase. I have some
sketches from a while ago, let me dust them off so that you can
try them.

I'd be happy to.

Thanks,
