By exporting the ability to map user address and inserting PTEs
representing their backing pages into the GTT, we can exploit UMA in order
to utilize normal application data as a texture source or even as a
render target (depending upon the capabilities of the chipset). This has
a number of uses, with zero-copy downloads to the GPU and efficient
readback making the intermixed streaming of CPU and GPU operations
fairly efficient. This ability has many widespread implications from
faster rendering of client-side software rasterisers (chromium),
mitigation of stalls due to read back (firefox) and to faster pipelining
of texture data (such as pixel buffer objects in GL or data blobs in CL).
v2: Compile with CONFIG_MMU_NOTIFIER
v3: We can sleep while performing invalidate-range, which we can utilise
to drop our page references prior to the kernel manipulating the vma
(for either discard or cloning) and so protect normal users.
v4: Only run the invalidate notifier if the range intercepts the bo.
v5: Prevent userspace from attempting to GTT mmap non-page aligned buffers
v6: Recheck after reacquire mutex for lost mmu.
v7: Fix implicit padding of ioctl struct by rounding to next 64bit boundary.
v8: Fix rebasing error after forwarding porting the back port.
v9: Limit the userptr to page aligned entries. We now expect userspace
to handle all the offset-in-page adjustments itself.
v10: Prevent vma from being copied across fork to avoid issues with cow.
v11: Drop vma behaviour changes -- locking is nigh on impossible.
Use a worker to load user pages to avoid lock inversions.
v12: Use get_task_mm()/mmput() for correct refcounting of mm.
v13: Use a worker to release the mmu_notifier to avoid lock inversion
v14: Decouple mmu_notifier from struct_mutex using a custom mmu_notifer
with its own locking and tree of objects for each mm/mmu_notifier.
v15: Prevent overlapping userptr objects, and invalidate all objects
within the mmu_notifier range
v16: Fix a typo for iterating over multiple objects in the range and
rearrange error path to destroy the mmu_notifier locklessly.
Also close a race between invalidate_range and the get_pages_worker.
v17: Close a race between get_pages_worker/invalidate_range and fresh
allocations of the same userptr range - and notice that
struct_mutex was presumed to be held when during creation it wasn't.
v18: Sigh. Fix the refactor of st_set_pages() to allocate enough memory
for the struct sg_table and to clear it before reporting an error.
v19: Always error out on read-only userptr requests as we don't have the
hardware infrastructure to support them at the moment.
v20: Refuse to implement read-only support until we have the required
infrastructure - but reserve the bit in flags for future use.
v21: use_mm() is not required for get_user_pages(). It is only meant to
be used to fix up the kernel thread's current->mm for use with
copy_user().
v22: Use sg_alloc_table_from_pages for that chunky feeling
v23: Export a function for sanity checking dma-buf rather than encode
userptr details elsewhere, and clean up comments based on
suggestions by Bradley.

of fuss with create2 apparently, but such are the rules.]
