The proposal was that the uapi in step #1 allocates a region of GPU

Honestly that feels too hacky, which is why I've said a few times
you'd actually need to integrate p2p pages into a DRM driver properly.

2. The p2pdma semantics seem to be global to the pci device. I.e., 1
GPU can export 1 p2pdma resource at a time (the way I'm reading the
API).

All of this is just a reflection that you are trying to use it in a
wrong hacky way. The driver is supposed to create a p2p registration
for its entire BAR at startup. Not on demand and not in fragments.
