Any driver may access shared buffers, created by ion, using dma_buf_vmap and

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

Anyway, what in-tree driver needs access to these functions?

It's still not clear why you need to implement these APIs.
Are you planning to use Ion with GPU drivers? I'm especially
interested in this if you have a non-Android use case.

Thanks,
