Looks good, thank you. I'll try this variant.

Originally, Daniel Vetter asked to sort out the dma-buf lockings across
all drivers, so we could replace custom locks in DRM-SHMEM with the resv
lock, otherwise there were no guarantees that we won't have deadlocks in
the dma-buf code paths.

The vmap/vunmap is one of the paths that needs to be sorted out, there
is no particular issue with it, just need to specify the convention. The
mmaping was the other questionable path and we concluded that it's
better to prohibit dma-buf mappings for DRM entirely. Lastly, there is
i915 attach() that uses the ww locking.
