[PATCH v9 00/20] MADVISE FOR XE

Provides a user API to assign attributes like pat_index, atomic
operation type, and preferred location for SVM ranges.
The Kernel Mode Driver (KMD) may split existing VMAs to cover input
ranges, assign user-provided attributes, and invalidate existing PTEs so
that the next page fault/prefetch can use the new attributes.
