I have verified this v6 using Jason's iommufd dmabuf branch:
https://github.com/jgunthorpe/linux/commits/iommufd_dmabuf/

by drafting a QEMU patch on top of Shameer's vSMMU v5 series:
https://github.com/nicolinc/qemu/commits/wip/iommufd_dmabuf/

with that, I see GPU BAR memory be correctly fetched in the QEMU:
vfio_region_dmabuf Device 0009:01:00.0, region "0009:01:00.0 BAR 0", offset: 0x0, size: 0x1000000
vfio_region_dmabuf Device 0009:01:00.0, region "0009:01:00.0 BAR 2", offset: 0x0, size: 0x44f00000
vfio_region_dmabuf Device 0009:01:00.0, region "0009:01:00.0 BAR 4", offset: 0x0, size: 0x17a0000000
