This looks like a good idea to me! The patch looks good as well, apart
from one tricky issue, see below...

(Unfortunately this isn't enough when it comes to user-space patches: the
kernel rules require a "real" user of the new IOCTL, not just a libdr IOCTL
wrapper. I will post a patch to make use of this from wlroots if that helps.)

Nit: can we specify the point after the handle, for consistency with
drm_syncobj_export_sync_file()? It's pretty easy to mix up these two arguments.

So, there is a footgun here, one that I hit myself with before: 0xCE is already
used by DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETFB2. And there is no check whatsoever about
conflicting IOCTL numbers. The only reason I noticed is that I got some pretty
weird behavior when trying to detect for the IOCTL availability in IGT, and
someone from AMD noticed some GETFB2 IGT test breakage when trying my patches.
