The key point is that we already discussed this on the mailing list and 
GEM was agreed on to be the right place for this.

That's the reason why the Intel developers already proposed a way to 
expose the buffer location in GEM.

Please sync up with Kenny who is leading the development efforts and 
with the Intel developers before warming up an old discussion again.

Adding that to TTM is an absolute no-go from my maintainers perspective.

That is a way to simplistic.

Again we already discussed this and the agreed compromise is to charge 
the application which is using the memory and not who has allocated it.

So you need to add the charge on importing a buffer and not just when it 
is created.
