Right, so that's not something that's going to fly.. we need to support
multiple users, including nesting of those. Again, you're adding
something to the generic kernel infrastructure, it had better be usable
:-)

No, we fix that before it all goes in. I would _so_ hate to find out it
cannot be 'fixed' and be stuck with a half-arsed sync primitive in the
core kernel that's only every usable by the one existent user.
So for now, forget all about TTM, DMA-BUF and other such coolness
except to verify that whatever we end up with does indeed work for the
case you need it for ;-)
