NACK, as this breaks an existing userspace API on media.

While I agree that using the userptr on media is something that
new drivers may not support, as DMABUF is a better way of
handling it, changing this for existing ones is a big no, 
as it may break usersapace.

The right approach here would be to be able to fine-tune
support for it on a per-driver basis, e. g. disabling such
feature only for drivers that would use a movable page.

The media subsystem has already a way to disable USERPTR
support from VB2. the right approach would be to ensure
that newer drivers will only set this if they won't use
movable pages.

Mauro
