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.

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.
