This series lays the groundwork for PF-mem regions: VRAM regions
dedicated to kernel-only allocations, where buffers are allocated
exclusively by the kernel driver and are never exposed to userspace
workloads.

Today a tile exposes a single VRAM region shared by both kernel and
userspace allocations. Some use cases need a separate VRAM region
carved out of a tile and reserved for the kernel driver only. For
example, on an SR-IOV PF most of the tile VRAM is provisioned to VFs;
the kernel driver still needs its own allocations, which must come from
a region reserved for the kernel and kept apart from the VRAM handed
out to VFs. That reserved kernel region is what PF-mem provides.

To support this, the VRAM region abstraction needs a way to distinguish
regions by purpose, dedicated TTM placements so the BO paths can route
and evict such buffers correctly, and helpers to create a region from a
caller-provided parent, offset, and size.

Piotr Piórkowski (4):
  drm/xe/vram: Add binding information to VRAM regions
  drm/xe/ttm: Add PF-mem VRAM placement types for TTM
  drm/xe/vram: Add initial support for PF-mem regions
  drm/xe/kunit: Add tests for PF-mem regions
