Add an abstraction layer between the drm_gpuva mappings of a particular
drm_gem_object and this GEM object itself. The abstraction represents a
combination of a drm_gem_object and drm_gpuvm. The drm_gem_object holds
a list of drm_gpuvm_bo structures (the structure representing this
abstraction), while each drm_gpuvm_bo contains list of mappings of this
GEM object.
This has multiple advantages:
1) We can use the drm_gpuvm_bo structure to attach it to various lists
of the drm_gpuvm. This is useful for tracking external and evicted
objects per VM, which is introduced in subsequent patches.
2) Finding mappings of a certain drm_gem_object mapped in a certain
drm_gpuvm becomes much cheaper.
3) Drivers can derive and extend the structure to easily represent
driver specific states of a BO for a certain GPUVM.
The idea of this abstraction was taken from amdgpu, hence the credit for
this idea goes to the developers of amdgpu.
