Some NVIDIA GPUs do not support direct atomic access to system memory via
PCIe. Instead this must be emulated by granting the GPU exclusive access
to the memory. This is achieved by replacing CPU page table entries with
special swap entries that fault on userspace access.
The driver then grants the GPU permission to update the page undergoing
atomic access via the GPU page tables. When CPU access to the page is
required a CPU fault is raised which calls into the device driver via MMU
notifiers to revoke the atomic access. The original page table entries
are then restored allowing CPU access to proceed.

Host methods exist to do at least some of what we need, but we are not
currently pushing replay/cancels through a channel like UVM does as it's
not clear whether it's necessary in our case (UVM also updates PTEs with
the GPU).
UVM also pushes a software method for fault cancels on Pascal, seemingly
because the host methods don't appear to be sufficient. If/when we want
to push the replay/cancel on the GPU, we can re-purpose the cancellation
code here to implement that swmthd.
Keep it simple for now, until we figure out exactly what we need here.

This provides a somewhat more direct method of manipulating the GPU page
tables, which will be required to support SVM.

NVKM is currently responsible for managing the allocation of a client's
GPU address-space, but there's various use-cases (ie. HMM address-space
mirroring) where giving a client more direct control is desirable.
This commit allows for a VMM to be created where the area allocated for
NVKM is limited to a client-specified window, the remainder of address-
space is controlled directly by the client.
Leaving a window is necessary to support various internal requirements,
but also to support existing allocation interfaces as not all of the HW
is capable of working with a HMM allocation.

This is the first chunk of the new VMM code that provides the structures
needed to describe a GPU virtual address-space layout, as well as common
interfaces to handle VMM creation, and connecting instances to a VMM.
The constructor now allocates the PD itself, rather than having the user
handle that manually. This won't/can't be used until after all backends
have been ported to these interfaces, so a little bit of memory will be
wasted on Fermi and newer for a couple of commits in the series.
Compatibility has been hacked into the old code to allow each GPU backend
to be ported individually.
