Mmap on drm dma-bufs doesn't work, and fairly intentionally. There's been
some rfc patch series to address this:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2015-August/089263.html
Unfortunately it seems stuck with getting the userspace piece in shape.
Might be best to ping Tiago for an update.
Meanwhile please don't do this in drivers ;-)

Yup, nacked. dumb_create is for dumb buffers, not rendering. Mali needs to
go upstream to fix this ...
