+ * GPUVM
+ * GPUVM is similar to the legacy gart on older asics, however
+ * rather than there being a single global gart table
+ * for the entire GPU, there are multiple VM page tables active
+ * at any given time.  The VM page tables can contain a mix
+ * vram pages and system memory pages and system memory pages
+ * can be mapped as snooped (cached system pages) or unsnooped
+ * (uncached system pages).
+ * Each VM has an ID associated with it and there is a page table
+ * associated with each VMID.  When execting a command buffer,
+ * the kernel tells the the ring what VMID to use for that command
+ * buffer.  VMIDs are allocated dynamically as commands are submitted.
+ * The userspace drivers maintain their own address space and the kernel
+ * sets up their pages tables accordingly when they submit their
+ * command buffers and a VMID is assigned.
+ * Cayman/Trinity support up to 8 active VMs at any given time;
+ * SI supports 16.
