Uh no.

Well I know everyone just hacks around this, but the idea behind dumb
buffer objects is that they're for kms scanout only. Furthermore on many
drivers they allocate a limited resource like CMA memory. Handing that out
like candy isn't a great idea.

And it's exactly those drivers that kmsro currently is used for where the
display driver needs special memory.
