I'll take a closer look. So far I can only tell that it's a kernel
driver issue because once I re-applied this "Don't map imported GEMs"
patch, AMDGPU began to refuse mapping AMDGPU_GEM_DOMAIN_GTT.

Actually, I'm now looking at Etnaviv and Nouveau and seems they should
map imported dma-buf properly. I know that people ran Android on
Etnaviv. So maybe devices with a separated GPU/display need to map
imported display BO for Android support. Wish somebody who ran Android
on one of these devices using upstream drivers could give a definitive
answer. I may try to test Nouveau later on.
