We are calling the eviction_valuable driver callback at eviction time to determine whether we actually can evict a buffer object. The upcoming i915 TTM backend needs the same functionality for swapout, and that might actually be beneficial to other drivers as well. Add an eviction_valuable call also in the swapout path. Try to keep the current behaviour for all drivers by returning true if the buffer object is already in the TTM_PL_SYSTEM placement. We change behaviour for the case where a buffer object is in a TT backed placement when swapped out, in which case the drivers normal eviction_valuable path is run.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
