No need, I read the lists (just sometimes get a little swamped and take
time to catch up).

I don't think a DDX driver is even involved in the scenario Sam's
working on.

Do you mean that the BO should be created in GTT in the first place if
possible? I did suggest that before, but I'm not sure it's feasible in
this scenario.

At mmap time, we don't know when the BO will actually be accessed by the
CPU (or indeed whether at all). If we do the migration at that point,
there's no guarantee that the BO will still be in GTT when it's accessed
by the CPU.
