This change adds a new flavor of dma-bufs that can be used by virtio drivers to share exported objects. A virtio dma-buf can be queried by virtio drivers to obtain the UUID which identifies the underlying exported object.
That duplicates a bunch of code from dma-buf.c in virtio_dma_buf.c.
How about dma_buf_{get,set}_uuid, simliar to dma_buf_set_name?
While I'm not opposed to such an API, I'm also hesitant to make changes to the dma-buf API for a single use case.
As for the duplicated code around virtio_dma_buf_export_info, it can be removed by sacrificing a little bit of type safety, if that's preferable.
