[Nouveau] [PATCH v3 0/5] mm/hmm/nouveau: add PMD system memory mapping

The goal for this series is to introduce the hmm_pfn_to_map_order()
function. This allows a device driver to know that a given 4K PFN is
actually mapped by the CPU using a larger sized CPU page table entry and
therefore the device driver can safely map system memory using larger
device MMU PTEs.
The series is based on 5.8.0-rc3 and is intended for Jason Gunthorpe's
hmm tree. These were originally part of a larger series:

Changes in v3:
Replaced the HMM_PFN_P[MU]D flags with hmm_pfn_to_map_order() to
indicate the size of the CPU mapping.

Changes in v2:
Make the hmm_range_fault() API changes into a separate series and add
  two output flags for PMD/PUD instead of a single compund page flag as
  suggested by Jason Gunthorpe.
Make the nouveau page table changes a separate patch as suggested by
  Ben Skeggs.
Only add support for 2MB nouveau mappings initially since changing the
1:1 CPU/GPU page table size assumptions requires a bigger set of changes.
Rebase to 5.8.0-rc3.

Ralph Campbell (5):
  nouveau/hmm: fault one page at a time
  mm/hmm: add hmm_mapping order
  nouveau: fix mapping 2MB sysmem pages
  nouveau/hmm: support mapping large sysmem pages
  hmm: add tests for HMM_PFN_PMD flag
