This needs to be updated to follow the new API, but this pattern is
generally wrong, failure if hmm_range_valid should retry the
range_fault and so forth. See the hmm.rst.

Using a temporary range is the pattern from nouveau, is it really
necessary in this driver?

It is odd to build the range into a sgl.

IMHO it is not a good idea to use the sg_dma_address like this, that
should only be filled in by a dma map. Where does it end up being
used?

Why is find_vma needed?

Keep in mind what can be done with the range values is limited until
the lock is obtained. Reading the pfns and flags is OK though.

I don't think the get_task_mm(current) is needed, the mmget is already
done for current->mm ?
