Any driver may access shared buffers, created by ion, using dma_buf_vmap and
dma_buf_vunmap dma-buf API that maps/unmaps previosuly allocated buffers into

the current ion implementation.

No review from any other Intel developers? :(
Will add.

Anyway, what in-tree driver needs access to these functions?
I'm not sure that there are the in-tree drivers using these functions and ion as buffer exporter because they are not implemented in ion :) But there are some in-tree drivers using these APIs (gpu drivers) with other buffer exporters.

And are you sure that you don't need to do any "real" logic in the
vmap/vunmap calls?  That feels like there would be some reference
counting problems here.
dma_buf_start_cpu_access is called before the call to dma_buf_vmap. It actually increments the reference count. dma_buf_end_cpu_access is called after the dma_buf_vunmap. It actually decrements the reference count.>>

Just call ion_dma_buf_kmap(dmabuf, 0)?
Sure.

Again, please get this reviewed by someone else in Intel first.  Don't
ignore the resources you have, to do so would be foolish :)
Sure. Will do.
