Yes, exactly. CPU accessible allocations weren't meant to be split with
the initial implementation.
For this we need to be able map scattered allocations into the CPU VM
page tables first.
You kind of implemented this, but it would still cause a ping/pong of
the BO inside the visible VRAM space.
We would need to move the handling of
AMDGPU_GEM_CREATE_CPU_ACCESS_REQUIRED from amdgpu_ttm_placement_init()
down into the VRAM manager as well.
Regards,
Christian.
