I'am trying to tackle this by mapping the DMA buffers READ_ONLY. My current
understanding is that PCI DMA buffers do actually get mapped in drm_mapbufs:
drm_mapbufs -> do_mmap(..., 0) -> drm_mmap -> drm_mmap_dma
If this is correct, can someone piggyback the following change at the
description of drm_mapbufs?
* Maps the AGP, SG or PCI buffer region with do_mmap(), and copies information
* about each buffer into user space. For PCI buffers, it calls do_mmap() with
* offset equal to 0, which drm_mmap interpretes as PCI buffers and calls
* drm_mmap_dma().
