So, a mmap'd dma-buf is not necessarily pinned.  Or even backed with
pages.  So you wouldn't want to try to map a userspace vaddr from a
dma-buf to the device.

But looking at the patch, this looks more like mapping an imported
dmabuf?  Presumably going thru dma_buf_map_attachment() somewhere in
the existing fastrpc code?
