If you use MMAP on one v4l2 device, how do you import that into another
v4l2 device ? Now, let's say your source is not a v4l2 device, and uses
virtual memory, how does DMABuf replaces such a use case if you want to
avoid copies and you know your HW can support fast usage of these
randomly allocated buffers ?
