Following up on the above, the commit which introduces the panics during
boot is this one:
commit 8e7e70522d760c4ccd4cd370ebfa0ba69e006c6e

drm/ttm: isolate dma data from ttm_tt V4
Move dma data to a superset ttm_dma_tt structure which herit
from ttm_tt. This allow driver that don't use dma functionalities
to not have to waste memory for it.
V2 Rebase on top of no memory account changes (where/when is my
delorean when i need it ?)
V3 Make sure page list is initialized empty
V4 typo/syntax fixes
Signed-off-by: Jerome Glisse <jglisse@xxxxxxxxxx>
Reviewed-by: Thomas Hellstrom <thellstrom@xxxxxxxxxx>
and the previous commit (3230cfc34fca: "drm/nouveau: enable the ttm dma
pool when swiotlb is active V3") works properly.
Sometime this week I suppose I'll try to track down the commit which
fixed the crashes...
Cheers,
