I kinda prefer v1, mostly because this is a huge can of worms, and solving
this properly is going to be real hard (and will necessarily involve
dma-buf and dma-api and probably more). Charging ahead here just risks
that we dig ourselves into a corner. You're v1 is maybe not the most
clean, but just a few code bits here&there should be more flexible and
easier to hack on and experiment around with.
