I like this and I guess it's an easy way to solve most of our sharing
issues with funnier hw. Exporters can then fall back to large allocations,
CMA, special-purpose remappes (like the omap tiler) or platform-specific
carveout areas (stolen mem for drm/i915). One little thing though:
Could you add a little helper (maybe in a second patch) to dma_buf that
walks all currently attached buffers and ORs together all masks and takes
the minimum of all other limits for all attached buffers?
