No, not by the fbdev helper.

For relocatable BOs, fbdev uses a shadow buffer that makes all any
relocation transparent to userspace. It flushes the shadow fb into the
BO's memory if there are updates. The code is in
drm_fb_helper_dirty_work(). [1] During the flush operation, the vmap
call now pins the BO to wherever it is. The actual location does not
matter. It's vunmap'ed immediately afterwards.

For dma-buf sharing, the regular procedure of pin + vmap still apply.
This should always move the BO into GTT-managed memory.

Best regards
Thomas
