I saw, I am saying this should not be done. You cannot unmap bits of
a sgl mapping if an invalidation comes in.

Please don't use sg list at all for this.

Yes, but you don't ever dma map DEVICE_PRIVATE.

Review my emails here:

https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20240403125712.GA1744080@nvidia.com/

Which explain how it should work.

This is not what I'm talking about. The GPU VMA is bound to a specific
MM VA, it should not be created on demand.

If you want the full 1:1 SVA case to optimize invalidations you don't
need something like a VMA, a simple bitmap reducing the address space
into 1024 faulted in chunks or something would be much cheaper than
some dynamic VMA ranges.
