Hm I thought usually we would add a prefix for exported stuff, like in 
this case i915_vm_nop_clear_range, however I see intel_gtt.h exports a 
bunch of stuff with no prefixes already so I guess you could continue 
like that by inertia. The conundrum also could have been avoided if you 
left it static (leaving out dpt and mock_gtt patches) but no strong 
opinion from me.

Maybe it belongs in i915_ggtt_resume_vm since that one deals with PTEs? 
Looks like it to me, but ack either way.
