The code hasn't been used since it was added to the tree, and doesn't

This seems a bit harsh, we do have another kconfig that selects this
one today:

config DRM_NOUVEAU_SVM

           Say Y here if you want to enable experimental support for
           Shared Virtual Memory (SVM).

Maybe it should be depends on STAGING not broken?

or maybe nouveau_svm doesn't actually need DEVICE_PRIVATE?

Jason

I think you are confusing DEVICE_PRIVATE for DEVICE_PUBLIC.
DRM_NOUVEAU_SVM does use DEVICE_PRIVATE but not DEVICE_PUBLIC.
