Thanks a lot!

With the remaining patches merged, all drivers will implement 
gem_prime_mmap via drm_gem_prime_mmap() and use the GEM object's mmap 
callback for specific details.

The next step would be to move all custom implementations of 
file_operations.mmap into the GEM object's mmap and implement the 
file_operations callback with drm_mmap().

Best regards
Thomas
