This seems to sprinkle a lot of likely/unlikely. Imo those are only
justified in two cases:
- When we have real performance data proving that they're worth it.
- Sometimes they're also useful as self-documenting code for the truly
  unlikely. But early do-nothing returns and error handling are
  established code patterns, so imo don't qualify.

I think none of the likely/unlikely below qualify, so imo better to remove
them.

Second high-level review request: Can you please convert the very nice
documentation you already added into proper kerneldoc and link it up at an
appropriate section in the drm DocBook?

A few more comments below. I'll postpone reviewing the gem/ttm conversion
patches until this is settled a bit.

Please convert this to a WARN_ON - drm_mm has code to cobble over buggy
drivers, and killing the driver with a BUG_ON if we could keep on going
with just a WARN_ON is a real pain for development.

This allocates memory, so potentially blocks. This doesn't mesh well with
the spinning rwlock (lockdep should seriously complain about this btw).
Please use an rwsemaphore instead.

If you switch over to drm_mm_node_allocated then this reset could
shouldn't be required - it'd be a pretty serious bug in drm_mm.c

Userspace address and pfn are a bit misleading imo in this context. I'd go
with "byte offset for consumption by userspace/mmap" and "page-based
addressing" or something similar.
