[Nouveau] [PATCH 0/6] map big page by platform IOMMU

Hi,

Generally the the imported buffers which has memory type TTM_PL_TT are
mapped as small pages probably due to lack of big page allocation. But the
platform device which also use memory type TTM_PL_TT, like GK20A, can
*allocate* big page though the IOMMU hardware inside the SoC. This is a try
to map the imported buffers as big pages in GMMU by the platform IOMMU. With
some preparation work to map decreate small pages into big page(s) by IOMMU
the GMMU eventually sees the imported buffer as chunks of big pages and does
the mapping. And then we can probably do the compression on teh imported
buffer which is composed of non-contiguous small pages. The compbits related
patches shall come later.

I guess most of you won't like the change for the MMU code in this series.
So please comment and guide me how to do this better. :)

Thanks,
Vince

  mmu: map small pages into big pages(s) by IOMMU if possible
  drm: enable big page mapping for small pages when IOMMU is available
  mmu: gf100: share most of functions with GK20A
  mmu: gk20a: implement IOMMU mapping for big pages
