Explicit ODP mkey doesn't have unique properties. It shares the same
properties as the order 18 cache entry. There is no need to devote a special
entry for that.
IMR is "implicit mr" for implicit ODP, the commit message is wrong

Yes. I'll change to: "IMR MTT mkeys don't have unique properties..."

And you didn't answer my question, is this URMable?
Yes, we can UMR between access modes.
Because I don't quite understand how this can work at this point, for
lower orders the access_mode is assumed to be MTT, a KLM cannot be put
in a low order entry at this point.

In our current code, the only non-MTT mkeys using the cache are the IMR KSM that this patch doesn't change.

Ideally you'd teach UMR to switch between MTT/KSM and then the cache
is fine, size the amount of space required based on the number of
bytes in the memory.

Agreed, access_mode and ndescs can be dropped from the rb_key that this series introduces and instead we'll add the size of the descriptors as a cache entry property. Doing this will reduce number of entries in the RB tree but will add complexity to the dereg and rereg flows .

I'd prefer to look into this in a later stage.
