Hi!
I might be misunderderstanding the use-case here, but IIRC the
discussion with TTM vs imported / exported buffer objects is that a
buffer object needs to be marked NO_EVICT in TTM before it's exported
and an imported object should never end up on a LRU list in TTM because
TTM wouldn't know how to evict it.
