Is this really true? We can map VRAM BOs to the CPU without having
migarte back and forth. Admittedly I don't know the inner workings of
how this works but in IGTs we do this all the time.

  54         batch_bo = xe_bo_create(fd, vm, batch_size,
  55                                 vram_if_possible(fd, 0),
  56                                 DRM_XE_GEM_CREATE_FLAG_NEEDS_VISIBLE_VRAM);
  57         batch_map = xe_bo_map(fd, batch_bo, batch_size);

The BO is created in VRAM and then mapped to the CPU.

I don't think there is an expectation of coherence rather caching mode
and exclusive access of the memory based on synchronization.

e.g.
User write BB/data via CPU to GPU memory
User calls exec
GPU read / write memory
User wait on sync indicating exec done
User reads result

All of this works without migration. Are we not planing supporting flow
with SVM?  

Afaik this migration dance really only needs to be done if the CPU and
GPU are using atomics on a shared memory region and the GPU device
doesn't support a coherent memory protocol (e.g. PVC).

These should be in alphabetical order.

Weird indentation. This goes for the entire series, look at checkpatch.

Do we want to do this probe for all devices with VRAM or only a subset?

This should probably be above existing code. Typical on fini to do
things in reverse order from init.

I don't think you need to include this. Rather just forward decl structs
used here.

e.g.

struct xe_device;
struct xe_mem_region;
struct xe_tile;

The arguments here are incongruent here. Typically we want these to
match.

Incongruent between xe_svm.h and xe_svm_devmem.c. Again these two should
match.

xe_trace.h appears to be unused.

Assume these are placeholders that will be populated later?

Here I see the xe_mem_region is from tile->mem.vram, wondering rather
than using the tile->mem.vram we should use xe->mem.vram when enabling
svm? Isn't the idea behind svm the entire memory is 1 view?

I suppose if we do that we also only use 1 TTM VRAM manager / buddy
allocator too. I thought I saw some patches flying around for that too.

This would need to be fixed too.
