Without the NUMA fix we'd end up using an outdated physical address in
the GPU page table. The problem was caught by a test that got incorrect
computation results using OpenCL on a NUMA system.
Without the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY patch, there can be kernel oopses due
to incorrect locking/unlocking of mmap_sem. It breaks the promise that
hmm_range_fault should not unlock the mmap_sem if block==true. It takes
some memory pressure to trigger this.
