a particular drm_gem_object and this GEM object itself. The abstraction
represents a combination of a drm_gem_object and drm_gpuvm. The
drm_gem_object holds a list of drm_gpuvm_bo structures (the structure
representing this abstraction), while each drm_gpuvm_bo contains list of
mappings of this GEM object.

This has multiple advantages:

1) We can use the drm_gpuvm_bo structure to attach it to various lists
    of the drm_gpuvm. This is useful for tracking external and evicted
    objects per VM, which is introduced in subsequent patches.

2) Finding mappings of a certain drm_gem_object mapped in a certain
    drm_gpuvm becomes much cheaper.

3) Drivers can derive and extend the structure to easily represent
    driver specific states of a BO for a certain GPUVM.

The idea of this abstraction was taken from amdgpu, hence the credit for
this idea goes to the developers of amdgpu.

Can we ditch va->gem.obj now and replace it with an accessor to the vm_bo's pointer?

Theoretically, drm_gpuvm could be used to track mappings and create drm_gpuva_ops to
map / unmap stuff only. Not sure if anyone ever does that though.

If we decide to drop it and use the vm_bo's pointer instead, the drm_gpuva must always
carry a pointer to the vm_bo since the drm_gpuvm_sm_map() function family requires the
BO pointer (if any) to work correctly. Also I'm not sure about all the corresponding
lifecycle implications yet.

Either way, I'd prefer to approach this in a separate patch if we decide so.

This get->put dance is unneccesary? If the caller is required to hold a lock on obj it is also required to hold a reference on obj.

I think I had the case where the driver has a separate (external) GEM gpuva lock to
protect the GEM's VM_BO list and the VM_BO's drm_gpuva list in my mind when writing this.
However, in this case we also don't need to keep a reference on the GEM object I guess...

Will remove it.


Besides, if the vm_bo's reference on obj is otherwise the last one, it will still be freed before the function exits.
