See remarks on the cover letter

This math validating the user parameters can overflow in various bad
ways

Why?

Why does this need to store owning_mm?

Doesn't need to store fd

Why is this an EXPORT_SYMBOL?

This should not be a public header

Probably the ib_umem should be changed to hold a struct sg_table. Not
clear to me why dma_buf wants to allocate this as a pointer..

Also this can be in umem_dmabuf.c

Put in ummem_dmabuf.c

This should be in the existing ib_umem.h

In uverbs_priv.h
