Whiteboard

Headline: Buffer sharing object framework RFC reworked and posted upstream. Basic test cases are written to test buffer sharing API.

Acceptance: it builds - file created drivers/base/dma-buf.o, without any errors or warnings. Basic test case set should be useable to test generic dma_buf_XXX APIs.
