The first problem is that llc does not guarrantee that the buffer is
cache coherent with all aspects of the GPU. For scanout and similar
writes need to be WC.
if (obj->has_framebuffer_references) would at least catch where the fb
is made before the mmap.
Equally this buffer could then be shared with other devices and exposing
a CPU mmap to userspace (and no flush/set-domain protocol) will result in
corruption.

Transfer owenership even if the ->mmap() fails?
