Hm ... Now I'm not sure drm_dev_enter/exit is actually good enough. I
guess if you use vmf_insert_pfn within the drm_dev_enter/exit critical
section, it should be fine. But I think you can also do fault handlers
that just return the struct page and then let core handle the pte
wrangling, those would indeed race and we can't have that I think.

I think we should try and make sure (as much as possible) that this is
done all done in helpers and not some open coded stuff in drivers, or
we'll just get it all wrong in the details.

drm_dev_enter/exit uses srcu internally, so afaik should scale
ridiculously well and be dirt cheap on the read side. It's horrible on
the flush side in drm_dev_unplug, but hey no one cares about that :-)
