[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: revert "XGMI pstate switch initial support"

As I understand,  if we want to implement the  logic in bo_add/rmv 
function ,  I need following conditions are all to be true for a valid 
XGMI request.

1.  check the adev and the bo_adev are different .
     This is correct on rocm implementation .( 
amdgpu_amdkfd_gpuvm_map_memory_to_gpu pass in the correct adev it want 
to mapped to).  For gem bo (amdgpu_gem_object_open/close), the  adev is  
get from bo directly so it's alway same.  Do we need extra adev info 
and  how or we don't need to care about the XGMI  for graphic side .

2. check the  bo->preferred_domains to be  AMDGPU_GEM_DOMAIN_VRAM.
     But as Felix mentioned , this domain can be changed by 
AMDGPU_GEM_OP_SET_PLACEMENT , how to handle this?

Can you explain a little bit more on how to handle the eviction with the 
flag in bo_va structure as you mentioned ?  Do you mean we disable the 
eviction for the  bo with XGMI request ?

Regards
