Yeah, that qxl_ttm_init() has:

	/* No others user of address space so set it to 0 */
	r = ttm_device_init(&qdev->mman.bdev, &qxl_bo_driver, NULL,
			    qdev->ddev.anon_inode->i_mapping,
			    qdev->ddev.vma_offset_manager,
			    false, false);

Where that NULL is "dev"!

Thus that will never work here.
