A Linux DMA-BUF pixel buffer.

If the buffer was allocated with explicit modifiers enabled, the `modifier` field must not be INVALID.

If the buffer was allocated with explicit modifiers disabled (either because the driver doesn't support it, or because the user didn't specify a valid modifier list), the `modifier` field can have two values: INVALID means that an implicit vendor-defined modifier is in use, LINEAR means that the buffer is linear. The `modifier` field must not have any other value.

When importing a DMA-BUF, users must not ignore the modifier unless it's INVALID or LINEAR. In particular, users must not import a DMA-BUF to a legacy API which doesn't support specifying an explicit modifier unless the modifier is set to INVALID or LINEAR.
