No, because that doesn't mention that you should use dma-buf as a replacement.
That's really the critical piece of information I'd like to see. That doesn't
belong in unsafe_follow_pfn, it needs to be in frame_vector.c since it's
vb2 specific.

Hmm, I really would like to see support for this to be dropped completely.
How about this: just replace follow_pfn() by -EINVAL instead of unsafe_follow_pfn().
Add a TODO comment that this code now can be cleaned up a lot. Such a clean up patch
can be added on top later, and actually that is something that I can do once this
series has landed.
Regardless, frame_vector.c should mention dma-buf as a replacement in a comment
since I don't want users who hit this issue to have to dig through git logs
to find that dma-buf is the right approach.
BTW, nitpick: the subject line of this patch says 'videbuf' instead of 'videobuf'.
