Prefetching: Uses the existing ioctl vm_bind and ensures pages are
populated in the requested region and PTEs are updated, preventing GPU
page faults.

Region 0: Ranges remain in SMEM with only PTE updates.
Region 1: Ranges migrate to VRAM with corresponding PTE updates.
Madvise Ioctl:

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.
The RFC for PREFETCH [1-12] was previously sent separately

This series includes prefetch patches as a baseline for madvise patches,
with future versions to be sent as a single series.
