Don't we need this together with the invalidate callback and the dynamic
stuff? Also I'm assuming that pin/unpin is pretty much required for
dynamic bo, so could we look at these callbacks instead of the dynamic
flag you add in patch 1.

I'm assuming following rules hold:
no pin/upin from exporter:

dma-buf is not dynamic, and pinned for the duration of map/unmap. I'm
not 100% sure whether really everyone wants the mapping to be cached for
the entire attachment, only drm_prime does that. And that's not the only
dma-buf importer.

pin/unpin calls are noops.

pin/unpin exist in the exporter, but importer has not provided an
invalidate callback:

We map at attach time, and we also have to pin, since the importer can't
handle the buffer disappearing, at attach time. We unmap/unpin at detach.

pin/unpin from exporter, invalidate from importer:

Full dynamic mapping. We assume the importer will do caching, attach
fences as needed, and pin the underlying bo when it needs it it
permanently, without attaching fences (i.e. the scanout case).

Assuming I'm not terribly off with my understanding, then I think it'd be
best to introduce the entire new dma-buf api in the first patch, and flesh
it out later. Instead of spread over a few patches. Plus the above (maybe
prettier) as a nice kerneldoc overview comment for how dynamic dma-buf is
supposed to work really.
