In order to better track where in the kernel the dma-buf code is used,
put the symbols in the namespace DMA_BUF and modify all users of the
symbols to properly import the namespace to not break the build at the
same time.

Now the output of modinfo shows the use of these symbols, making it
easier to watch for users over time:

$ modinfo drivers/misc/fastrpc.ko | grep import
import_ns:      DMA_BUF

v2: added lots of acks
     added 2 more drivers that needed the change, as found by Arnd
Ping?  Any ideas on what needs to happen to get this into the tree?

Or can I take it through my char-misc tree?  I seem to have a bunch of
acks on it by the respective maintainers...

I could push that upstream through the drm-misc-next tree if you like, but honestly char-misc sounds like the better approach since this touches a lot of drivers outside of drm as well.

Thanks,
Christian.


thanks,
