mm/hmm/mirror: mirror process address space on device with HMM helpers
This is a heterogeneous memory management (HMM) process address space mirroring. In a nutshell this provide an API to mirror process address space on a device. This boils down to keeping CPU and device page table synchronize (we assume that both device and CPU are cache coherent like PCIe device can be). This patch provide a simple API for device driver to achieve address space mirroring thus avoiding each device driver to grow its own CPU page table walker and its own CPU page table synchronization mechanism. This is useful for NVidia GPU >= Pascal, Mellanox IB >= mlx5 and more hardware in the future.

+ * Mirroring: how to synchronize device page table with CPU page table.
+ *
+ * A device driver that is participating in HMM mirroring must always
+ * synchronize with CPU page table updates. For this, device drivers can either
+ * directly use mmu_notifier APIs or they can use the hmm_mirror API. Device
+ * drivers can decide to register one mirror per device per process, or just
+ * one mirror per process for a group of devices. The pattern is:
+ *
+ * int device_bind_address_space(..., struct mm_struct *mm, ...)
+ * {
+ * struct device_address_space *das;
+ *
+ * // Device driver specific initialization, and allocation of das
+ * // which contains an hmm_mirror struct as one of its fields.
+ * ...
+ *
+ * ret = hmm_mirror_register(&das->mirror, mm, &device_mirror_ops);
+ * if (ret) {
+ * // Cleanup on error
+ * return ret;
+ * }
+ *
+ * // Other device driver specific initialization
+ * ...
+ * }
+ *
+ * Once an hmm_mirror is registered for an address space, the device driver
+ * will get callbacks through sync_cpu_device_pagetables() operation (see
+ * hmm_mirror_ops struct).
+ *
+ * Device driver must not free the struct containing the hmm_mirror struct
+ * before calling hmm_mirror_unregister(). The expected usage is to do that when
+ * the device driver is unbinding from an address space.
+ *
+ *
+ * void device_unbind_address_space(struct device_address_space *das)
+ * {
+ * // Device driver specific cleanup
+ * ...
+ *
+ * hmm_mirror_unregister(&das->mirror);
+ *
+ * // Other device driver specific cleanup, and now das can be freed
+ * ...
+ * }
