The gma500 one was taken from i915 and I'd reach the same conclusion as
you - the current GMA500 driver (see staging git) has the mmap offset
patches broken out in gem_glue.c ready to do what you are proposing.

Agreed entirely.

Your patch doesn't apply versus gma500 but its trivial to remove it from
gem_glue.c once it goes into the mainstream GEM.

(The other bits in the gma500 glue are to allow for GEM objects backed by
things other than shmfs)
