Thirded.

There are a lot of loose pieces to juggle until we have everything in
place for buffer sharing (and quite a few of this involve contentious
topics). But this core piece for integrating dma-buf with drm here has
been acked/reviewd by all the relevant people and merging it would imo
greatly help in wiring up all the other loose ends.
