    drm/ttm, drm/vmwgfx: Support huge TTM pagefaults · 314b6580

    Support huge (PMD-size and PUD-size) page-table entries by providing a
    huge_fault() callback.
    We still support private mappings and write-notify by splitting the huge
    page-table entries on write-access.
    
    Note that for huge page-faults to occur, either the kernel needs to be
    compiled with trans-huge-pages always enabled, or the kernel needs to be
    compiled with trans-huge-pages enabled using madvise, and the user-space
    app needs to call madvise() to enable trans-huge pages on a per-mapping
    basis.
    
    Furthermore huge page-faults will not succeed unless buffer objects and
    user-space addresses are aligned on huge page size boundaries.
