So it looks like you're right and indeed GK20A and later (up to, but not
including, GV11B that is) comptags do indeed need to be mapped as vidmem
even if they reside in sysmem.
Conceptually I think what we want to do is decide about the aperture at
allocation time. So if we allocate comptags we would need to force the
aperture to be VRAM on the iGPUs where necessary, even if they are
really allocated in system memory. Ultimately the end result is the same
of course, but I think this way around is a better representation of
this particular hardware quirk and allows us to keep the unification
that this patch series achieves.
But I'll have to look into this and see what I can come up with.
