We're reserving global GTT space here for someting that just looks like
it requires contiguous physical memory. This may cause issues if
something else is already bound to that GTT range. I think we want to
extend the interface to not reserve GTT space if gtt_offset == -1.

Much happier with the placement of functions and the comments help a
lot.
