Thanks for sending this. A couple of comments below.

start can be in canonical form here (alloc_va_range_4lvl calls 
alloc_va_range_3lvl), and then this check could fail, e.g: first alloc 
when using top-down.
Just move it to gen8_alloc_va_range like you did to the check below.

Can you move this to gen8_alloc_va_range (48bit path) instead?
That will keep it in sync to _clear_range.

Also, I know it isn't really required in gen8_ppgtt_insert_entries (as 
it only relies in pdp/pdp/pt indexes), but it will be nice to have 
alloc/insert/clear functions in sync.

Feel free to ignore this one, but this isn't gen8 per se, so I vote for 
to_canonical_addr().
