I've used i915_mm elsewhere as a subclass of struct mm, so a little wary
of I915_MM. The other users are enum i915_cache_level, but I didn't want
to imply that this is a cache level and I wanted something that could
clearly demarque the I-am-not-vma.

Maybe COLOR_ME_PINNED?

Definitely run out of paint today.
