That is essentially what I've did.

In recent discussion we a couple of times the problem that we need to 
distinguish between the system VM and the GART/GTT domain from TTM.

See starting with R6xx I think we used the system VM to implement the 
old GART functionality from AGP days.

The name stayed the same over the years, but we ran into the problem 
that we wanted to reduce the size of the system VM to save VRAM while 
still having a large GTT domain in TTM to map all system memory at the 
same time.

So that the TTM parts stay the same is intentional.

Regards,
Christian.
