I see now that Etnaviv uses dma_buf_mmap(), so it should be okay.

Actually, I proposed this couple months ago [1].

[1] https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/487481/

What's not clear to me is how userspace is supposed to sync CPU accesses
for imported GEMs. Either userspace need to use dma_buf_sync UAPI for
dmabuf of imported GEM or importer driver should do that, or there is
some other option?
