Yes dma-buf, but that gets forwarded to the original drm chardev which
originally exported the buffer. It's only there where the forwarding
chain stops. The other thing is that iirc we have a singleton
anon_inode behind all the dma-buf, so they'd share all the same
address_space and so would all alias for unmap_mapping_range (I think
at least).
