This is not acceptable.  We need 64K granularity.  This includes the
starting address, the BO offset, and the length.  Why?  The tl;dr is that
it's a requirement for about 50% of D3D12 apps if we want them to run on
Linux via D3D12.  A longer explanation follows.  I don't necessarily expect
kernel folks to get all the details but hopefully I'll have left enough of
a map that some of the Intel Mesa folks can help fill in details.

Many modern D3D12 apps have a hard requirement on Tier2 tiled resources.
This is a feature that Intel has supported in the D3D12 driver since
Skylake.  In order to implement this feature, VKD3D requires the various
sparseResidencyImage* and sparseResidency*Sampled Vulkan features.  If we
want those apps to work (there's getting to be quite a few of them), we
need to implement the Vulkan sparse residency features.

What is sparse residency?  I'm glad you asked!  The sparse residency
features allow a client to separately bind each miplevel or array slice of
an image to a chunk of device memory independently, without affecting any
other areas of the image.  Once you get to a high enough miplevel that
everything fits inside a single sparse image block (that's a technical
Vulkan term you can search for in the spec), you can enter a "miptail"
which contains all the remaining miplevels in a single sparse image block.

The term "sparse image block" is what the Vulkan spec uses.  On Intel
hardware and in the docs, it's what we call a "tile".  Specifically, the
image needs to use Yf or Ys tiling on SKL-TGL or a Tile64 on DG2+.  This is
because Tile4 and legacy X and Y-tiling don't provide any guarantees about
page alignment for slices.  Yf, Ys, and Tile64, on the other hand, align
all slices of the image to a tile boundary, allowing us to map memory to
different slices independently, assuming we have 64K (or 4K for Yf) VM_BIND
granularity.  (4K isn't actually a requirement for SKL-TGL; we can use Ys
all the time which has 64K tiles but there's no reason to not support 4K
alignments on integrated.)

Someone may be tempted to ask, "Can't we wiggle the strides around or
something to make it work?"  I thought about that and no, you can't.  The
problem here is LOD2+.  Sure, you can have a stride such that the image is
a multiple of 2M worth of tiles across.  That'll work fine for LOD0 and
LOD1; both will be 2M aligned.  However, LOD2 won't be and there's no way
to control that.  The hardware will place it to the right of LOD1 by
ROUND_UP(width, tile_width) pixels and there's nothing you can do about
that.  If that position doesn't happen to hit a 2M boundary, you're out of
luck.

I hope that explanation provides enough detail.  Sadly, this is one of
those things which has a lot of moving pieces all over different bits of
the hardware and various APIs and they all have to work together just right
for it to all come out in the end.  But, yeah, we really need 64K aligned
binding if we want VKD3D to work.
