I consider amdgpu_amdkfd_gpuvm as part of the lower layer. It has
control over the placement of the buffers.
That said, if the GMC code has to figure out the PTE mapping flags based
on the location of the buffer and the intended usage, it'll be hard to
avoid some of the abstractions you criticized in Oak's patch series. You
can't have it both ways. Either you give user mode the responsibility to
know all the HW details and let user mode determine the mtype and flags
(which is what you currently do in the GEM interface), or you let the VM
code determine the flags based on more abstract information from user mode.
I see this discussion moving towards a more abstract interface. I'll see
if I can add that into the GMC IP without breaking the existing AMDGPU
GEM APIs.
