Another thing I want to emphasize is that we are doing p2p only

Arguably mmaping the memory is a better choice, and is the direction
that Logan's series goes in. Here the use of DMABUF was specifically
designed to allow hitless revokation of the memory, which this isn't
even using.
The major problem with this approach is that DMA-buf is also used for
memory which isn't CPU accessible.
That was one of the reasons we didn't even considered using the mapping
memory approach for GPUs.

So you are taking the hit of very limited hardware support and reduced
performance just to squeeze into DMABUF..
