tldr; DMA buffers aren't normal memory, expecting that you can use
them like that (like calling get_user_pages works, or that they're
accounting like any other normal memory) cannot be guaranteed.

Since some userspace only runs on integrated devices, where all
buffers are actually all resident system memory, there's a huge
temptation to assume that a struct page is always present and useable
like for any more pagecache backed mmap. This has the potential to
result in a uapi nightmare.

To stop this gap require that DMA buffer mmaps are VM_SPECIAL, which
blocks get_user_pages and all the other struct page based
infrastructure for everyone. In spirit this is the uapi counterpart to
the kernel-internal CONFIG_DMABUF_DEBUG.

Motivated by a recent patch which wanted to swich the system dma-buf
heap to vm_insert_page instead of vm_insert_pfn.
