I am not super familiar with this driver either so I may have
overlooked this. Using dev->dev_private was to make sure that the
imported buffers would be mapped contiguously in the device's address
space, so I am not sure whether we need to do something in the case of
export.

Added CK and Tomasz who may have a more informed opinion on this.
