+1 on cleaning this up for good, at least long-term ...

... but if it gets too invasive I'd vote for incremental changes. Even if we completely rip out the vma/mmap lookup stuff from ttm, we still need to keep a copy somewhere for vmwgfx. Or would the evil plan be the vmwgfx would use the gem mmap helpers too? -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch
