[PATCH] drm/virtio: Remove restriction of non-zero blob_flags

[PATCH] drm/virtio: Remove restriction of non-zero blob_flags

[Rob Clark]

From: Rob Clark <robdclark@chromium.org>

With native userspace drivers in guest, a lot of GEM objects need to be
neither shared nor mappable.  And in fact making everything mappable
and/or sharable results in unreasonably high fd usage in host VMM.

This is for a thing I'm working on, a new virtgpu context type that
allows for running native userspace driver in the guest, with a
thin shim in the host VMM.  In this case, the guest has a lot of
GEM buffer objects which need to be neither shared nor mappable.

This supersedes https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/475127/
