This is not a strict requirement.
But I thought that conflicts will be minimized if UMD itself can do the 
full address space management.
At least UMD has to ensure that PPGTT offset of L3 table remains same 
throughout.

Yes applies only to the TR-TT L1-L3 tables.
The backing pages of L3/L2/L1 tables shall be allocated as a BO, which 
should be assigned a PPGTT address.
The table entries could be written directly also by UMD by mmapping the 
table BOs, but adding MI_STORE_DATA_IMM commands in the batch buffer 
itself would help to achieve serialization (implicitly).

You mean to say that it is needless or inappropriate to state that KMD 
will use the Soft PIN offset provided by UMD, it doesn't matter that 
whether the Soft PIN offset is used or KMD itself assigns an address.

Sorry, do you mean to say that with -ENODEV error also, on context 
setparam, User can make out the TR-TT support, so no need to have an 
explicit getparam case.

Would the context getparam path be really useful for TR-TT?.
If its needed, then would be better to rename 
I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_ENABLE_TRTT to I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_TRTT_INFO ?

Ok will change the type of 'flags' field inside 'intel_context' to unsigned.
Sorry, but apart from this anything else required here ?

Fine, will move it to the gem_context_free()

Yes intend to do a range overlap test only. But since L3 table size is 
fixed as 4KB, thought there is no real need to also include the size in 
the range check, considering the allocations are always in multiple of 4KB.

Fine, I think DRM_DEBUG_DRIVER will be more appropriate compared to 
DRM_DEBUG.
Or
	dev_dbg(dev->dev, "invalid l3 table address\n");

Fine, this will be much better.

GEN9_TR_CHICKEN_BIT_VECTOR is not a context specific register.
It globally enables TR-TT support in Hw. Still TR-TT enabling on per 
context basis is required.
Non-trtt contexts are not affected by this setting.

Thanks, will rephrase as 'permanently pinned'.

Ok so need to define a new wrapper function,
	i915_vm_reserve_node(vm, START, SIZE, &vma).

After looking at the other callsites of drm_mm_reserve_node, including 
i915_vgpu, I think it would be better to have the prototype as,
    i915_vm_reserve_node(vm, &node);

However this should be done as a separate patch ?

Should we allow User to also choose the location of TR-TT segment (size 
is anyways fixed as 1<<44).
