These helpers can be useful for creating dmabuf objects from blobs
and submitting them to the UI.

Add helper functions to create a dmabuf for a resource and mmap it.
Also, introduce the fields blob and blob_size so that these helpers
can start to use them but the full picture will emerge only after
adding create_blob API in patch 8 of this series.
To be able to create a dmabuf using the udmabuf driver, Qemu needs
to be lauched with the memfd memory backend like this:
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 8192m -object memory-backend-memfd,id=mem1,size=8192M
-machine memory-backend=mem1
