This seems slightly tricky. We still want ttm_bo_vm_reserve() to
behave normally when seeing shmem_tt, and yet it still needs to return
SIGBUS or so for FLAG_SG, as per the existing behaviour. Throwing in
bo->type == type_sg seems maybe plausible, but at least amdgpu is
manually setting FLAG_SG for userptr objects, so I presume bo->type !=
type_sg here?

Otherwise maybe just s/SHMEM/EXTERNAL and leave FLAG_SG as-is?
