Not even that, userspace provides both the base address and the range,
the kernel really just keeps track of things. Though, writing a UAPI on
top of the GPUVA manager asking for a free range instead would be
possible by just adding the corresponding wrapper functions to get a
free hole.
Currently, and that's what I think I read out of your question, the main
benefit of using drm_mm over simply stuffing the entries into a list or
something boils down to easier collision detection and iterating
sub-ranges of the whole VA space.
