+Remove automatic page mapping from dma-buf importing
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+When importing dma-bufs, the dma-buf and PRIME frameworks automatically map
+imported pages into the importer's DMA area. drm_gem_prime_fd_to_handle() and
+drm_gem_prime_handle_to_fd() require that importers call dma_buf_attach()
+even if they never do actual device DMA, but only CPU access through
+dma_buf_vmap(). This is a problem for USB devices, which do not support DMA
+operations.
+
+To fix the issue, automatic page mappings should be removed from the
+buffer-sharing code. Fixing this is a bit more involved, since the import/export
+cache is also tied to &drm_gem_object.import_attach. Meanwhile we paper over
+this problem for USB devices by fishing out the USB host controller device, as
+long as that supports DMA. Otherwise importing can still needlessly fail.
