So I was panicking when I've seen this first because of the RFC and
feared it's the big discussion about which userptr semantics exactly
we should aim for. Which is something we really should nail. But
looking now again it's really that you remove some optional paths, and
the core bit with mmu_interval_read_retry is still there. It's just
mmu_interval_check_retry that goes out.

So no panic from me on this. But ideally I think needs Maarten to
review the details.

Wrt the panic topic, I think there's 3 legit ways to do userptr:
- using pin_user_page with PIN_LONGTERM
- using hmm/mmu_notifier_range, gpu page faults and tlb invalidate,
with no dma_fence and no page refcounts at all
- with mmu_notifier_range and dma_fence, and I think there the big
question is whether we should get some page references. I think it
would be great if we get as close as possible to the case with real
page faults/tlb invalidate, so no page references, since holding
random references.

I think ideally we'd at least document this, ideally with helpers used
by drivers, also I'd like a few more ponies :-)

Cheers, Daniel
