Christian, you delete PTE BO instead of moving them into idle list. The
intention is to avoid them do evction back when do vm_validate_pt_bos,
right?

But in that function, I just see that it will walk over the idle list and
move the bo into lru list, and didn't find the evction behaviour called
explicitly. So why will it save the performance cost?

Thanks,
Ray
