Thanks for the poitner, I'll check that out as well!  Also, if you
still have them around, I'd be interested in checking out the tests to
try to get something integrated into kselftest.

Talking with Brian yesterday, there was some thought that we should
try to put together some sort of example dmabuf pipeline that isn't
hardware dependent and can be used to demonstrate the usage model as
well as validate the frameworks and maybe even benchmark some of the
ideas floating around right now.  So suggestions here would be
welcome!
