Huh? Where does req->flags come from? I don't remember that this flag exists in
struct drm_gpuvm_map_req in the preceding patch?

I know you want to do the swap() trick above, but I don't like creating a
temporary struct drm_gpuva with all the other uninitialized fields.

If you really want this, can we please limit the scope? Maybe the following
helper:

	static bool can_merge(struct drm_gpuvm *gpuvm,
			      const struct drm_gpuva *va,
			      struct drm_gpuvm_map_req *req)
	{
		struct drm_gpuva reqva = { ... };
		return __can_merge(gpuvm, va, reqva);
	}
