Ralph observes that hmm_range_register() can only be called by a driver
while a mirror is registered. Make this clear in the API by passing in the
mirror structure as a parameter.
This also simplifies understanding the lifetime model for struct hmm, as
the hmm pointer must be valid as part of a registered mirror so all we
need in hmm_register_range() is a simple kref_get.

This add an ioctl to migrate a range of process address space to the
device memory. On platform without cache coherent bus (x86, ARM, ...)
this means that CPU can not access that range directly, instead CPU
will fault which will migrate the memory back to system memory.
This is behind a staging flag so that we can evolve the API.

Device memory can be use in SVM, in which case we do not have any of
the existing buffer object. This commit add infrastructure to allow
use of device memory without nouveau_bo. Again this is a temporary
solution until a rework of GPU memory management.

This uses HMM to mirror a process' CPU page tables into a channel's page
tables, and keep them synchronised so that both the CPU and GPU are able
to access the same memory at the same virtual address.
While this code also supports Volta/Turing, it's only enabled for Pascal
GPUs currently due to channel recovery being unreliable right now on the
later GPUs.
