Shouldn't the "packed" attribute be needed if a non-32bit aligned fields
are used?

64bits for a gather offset is a bit too much, in most cases gathers are
under 4K.

u32 should be more than enough (maybe even u16 if offset is given in a
dword granularity).

u32/16

What about to inline the UPTR gather data and relocs into the
drm_tegra_submit_command[] buffer:

struct drm_tegra_submit_command {
	struct {
		u16 num_words;
		u16 num_relocs;

		gather_data[];
		drm_tegra_submit_relocation relocs[];
	} gather_uptr;
};

struct drm_tegra_channel_submit {
        __u32 num_syncpt_incrs;
        __u32 syncpt_idx;

        __u64 commands_ptr;
	__u32 commands_size;
...
};

struct drm_tegra_submit_command example[] = {
	cmd.gather_uptr{},
	...
	gather_data[],
	gather_relocs[],
	cmd.wait_syncpt{},
	...
};

This way we will have only a single copy_from_user() for the whole
cmdstream, which should be more efficient to do and nicer from both
userspace and kernel perspectives in regards to forming and parsing the
commands.
