Yeah, as pointed out in the other mail that won't work like this.

The GPUVM contains GEM objects and therefore should probably have a 
reference to those objects.

When those GEM objects now use the dma-resv object embedded inside the 
GPUVM then they also need a reference to the GPUVM to make sure the 
dma-resv object won't be freed before they are freed.

This is a circle reference dependency.

The simplest solution I can see is to let the driver provide the GEM 
object to use. Amdgpu uses the root page directory object for this.

Apart from that I strongly think that we shouldn't let the GPUVM code 
create a driver GEM object. We did that in TTM for the ghost objects and 
it turned out to be a bad idea.

Christian.
