This v3 series adds TPH (TLP Processing Hints) support to the VFIO dma-buf export path, allowing importing drivers like mlx5 to use the exporter's steering tag for peer-to-peer DMA. The design is well thought out:

- The release/acquire pattern on `tph_flags` neatly avoids lock inversion between `memory_lock` and `dma_resv_lock`
- The bitfield-to-bool conversion for `revoked` correctly eliminates cross-lock RMW on a shared byte
- The TOCTOU fix (reusing the already-resolved dma_buf rather than re-resolving the fd) is a genuine security improvement
- The `mlx5_st_alloc_index` refactoring into a `_by_tag` variant is clean

Main concerns: (1) the `get_tph` callback adds a new member to `struct dma_buf_ops`, which is a core dma-buf API change needing dma-buf maintainer buy-in, (2) there is no way to clear/unset TPH metadata once set, and (3) the mlx5 side adds a new bitfield (`dmabuf_st_owned`) sharing a byte with `revoked` and `dmabuf_faulted` under potentially different locks — the same class of issue that patch 1 fixes on the VFIO side.
