It surely makes sense to target that. This patch can be a first step
into that direction. It allows gem and ttm to use the same
vma_offset_manager (see patch #3), which in turn makes various gem
functions work on ttm objects (see patch #4 for vram helpers).

Hmm, right, noticed that too while working on another patch series.
Guess I'll try to merge those two and see where I end up ...
