Sorry for being a bit late, have been on vacation.
Well actually this was discussed before to work around problems with
Windows applications through wine/proton.
Not 100% sure what the outcome of that was, but if I'm not completely
mistaken getting the fd behind a VMA should be possible.
It might just not be the DMA-buf fd, because we use mmap() re-routing to
be able to work around problems with the reverse tracking of mappings.
