Sorry, but I think I will need some help to understand how this could
help in the virtio-wl case [adding Zach Reizner to CC].
Any graphics buffers that are allocated with memfd will be shared with
the compositor via wl_shm, without need for dmabufs.
Daniel Stone [added to CC] commented though that this could be useful for
browsers that composite pages with a nested Wayland compositor, to avoid
having to blit each layer so that the EGL platform notifies the
compositor of new contents.
Cheers,
Tomeu
