They are copied mostly from ttm_bo.c. However, I agree that they are
probably unneeded. Furthermore, these aren't code-paths I'd expect to
be performance-critical. I will dig into the git-history of TTM to see
whether they have been in-place since the beginning or whether there
is some real reason for them.

Sure.

Ugh? This shouldn't allocate any memory. I use pre-allocated nodes and
looking at drm_mm.c this just links the node at the correct position.
As long as the color_adjust() callbacks are atomic, this should be
fine here. Did you mix this up with get_block()?

I thought this flag was used for kfree() tracking. Turns out, it's
not. I will fix it up and remove the unnecessary resets.
