The dmabuf is managed as per process resource, so it's hard to do it through
sysfs.

The dmabuf fd is defined as int, so __s32 seems correct. Please let me know
otherwise. The dir can be __u8. Will fix if there is v2 at all.

Agreed. So I'm looking forward to feedback or if there's more sensible
alternative.
