Nice callchain from hell..  Unfortunately such "code listings" tend to
get out of date very quickly, so I'm not sure it is worth keeping in
the code.  What would be really worthile is consolidating the two
different sets of defines (NVIF_VMM_PFNMAP_V0_ vs NVKM_VMM_PFN_)
to make the code a little easier to follow.

Can't we rely on the caller pre-zeroing the array?

Now that this routine isn't really device memory specific any more, I
wonder if it should move to nouveau_svm.c.
