Apparently the OMAP DRM driver should be broken similarly to the Tegra
DRM. Unlikely that anyone else maps the imported GEMs in practice, other
drivers are prohibiting the mapping AFAICS. I'll make the v8 without the
stable tag since it's not a critical problem after all because it never
worked for the broken drivers.
