update-object-after-move works fine.

try zap mappings with madvise(dontneed) has no bad effects (after vram
move, trying to force re-creating the ptes).

didn't try the memory pressure thing yet.

One reproducable glitch found:  fork() while having a dma-buf mapped
triggers the WARN_ON in ttm_bo_vm_open().  Both old & new mmap code
paths, so this isn't something new coming from the
drm_gem_object_funcs.mmap switch.  Instead it is an old issue coming
from the address space handling being different in drm mmap and dmabuf
mmap code paths.

I can see now why you want a private address space for each object.
Does that imply we need an anon_inode for each gem object?  Or is
there some more lightweight way to do this?

cheers,
  Gerd
