I only noticed this thread now but fyi I did dig around in the
implementation and it's summarily an absolute no-go imo for multiple
reasons. It starts with this approach of trying to mirror cpu vma (which I
think originated from amdkfd) leading to all kinds of locking fun, and
then it gets substantially worse when you dig into the details.

I think until something more solid shows up you can just ignore this. I do
fully agree that for sva the main mirroring primitive needs to be page
centric, so dma_map_sg. There's a bit a question around how to make the
necessary batching efficient and the locking/mmu_interval_notifier scale
enough, but I had some long chats with Thomas and I think there's enough
option to spawn pretty much any possible upstream consensus. So I'm not
worried.

But first this needs to be page-centric in the fundamental mirroring
approach.
