[PATCH 0/6] Two-pass MMU interval notifiers

GPU use-cases for mmu_interval_notifiers with hmm often involve
starting a gpu operation and then waiting for it to complete.
These operations are typically context preemption or TLB flushing.
    
With single-pass notifiers per GPU this doesn't scale in
multi-gpu scenarios. In those scenarios we'd want to first start
preemption- or TLB flushing on all GPUs and as a second pass wait
for them to complete.
    
One can do this on per-driver basis multiplexing per-driver
notifiers but that would mean sharing the notifier "user" lock
across all GPUs and that doesn't scale well either, so adding support
for two-pass in the core appears like the right choice.

So this series does that, with pach 1 implementing the core support
and also describes the choices made.
The rest of the patches implements a POC with drm_gpusvm, but this
will also come in handy for things like userptr where waiting for
bind completion, starting of preemption and waiting for
preemption completion can pe pipelined across GPUs.
