While running 3D apps inside a Guest VM with a SRIOV enabled dGPU,
it was noticed that migrating a BO to System RAM before exporting
it as a dmabuf results in considerable performance degradation.
For example, running a simple 3D app such as weston-simple-egl
would yield ~50 FPS instead of ~59 FPS, assuming a mode of
1920x1080@60.

So, fix this issue by not migrating the BO and keep it in LMEM
during export. However, since the GPU running in PF mode on the
Host cannot effectively access the PCI BAR addresses backing the
imported dmabuf BO, they need to be translated into LMEM addresses
(DPAs) to enable this use-case to work properly.

With this patch series applied, it would become possible to display
(via Qemu GTK UI) Guest VM compositor's framebuffer (created in its
LMEM) on the Host without having to make any copies of it or a
costly roundtrip to System RAM. And, weston-simple-egl can now
achieve ~59 FPS while running with Gnome Wayland in the Guest VM.

Changelog:
v2 -> v3:
- Rebased (and tested) on kernel 6.17.0-rc4 with B60
- Updated the commit message in the P2PDMA patch and other patches

v1 -> v2:
- Use a dma_addr array instead of SG table to store translated DMA
  addresses (Matt)
- Use a cursor to iterate over the entries in the dma_addr array
  instead of relying on SG iterator (Matt)
- Rebased and tested this series on top of the one that introduces
  drm_pagemap_dma_addr and xe_res_first_dma/__xe_res_dma_next
  that this version relies on

Patchset overview:
Patch 1: PCI driver patch to unblock P2P DMA between VF and PF
Patch 2: Prevent BO migration to System RAM while running in VM
Patch 3: Helper function to get VF's backing object in LMEM
Patch 4-5: Create and use a new dma_addr array for LMEM based
           dmabuf BOs to store translated addresses (DPAs)

Associated vfio-pci patch series:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/cover.1754311439.git.leon@kernel.org/

This series is tested using the following method:
- Run Qemu with the following relevant options:
  qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096m ....
  -device vfio-pci,host=0000:03:00.1
  -device virtio-vga,max_outputs=1,blob=true,xres=1920,yres=1080
  -display gtk,gl=on
  -object memory-backend-memfd,id=mem1,size=4096M
  -machine memory-backend=mem1 ...
- Run Gnome Wayland with the following options in the Guest VM:
  # cat /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/61-mutter-primary-gpu.rules
  ENV{DEVNAME}=="/dev/dri/card1", TAG+="mutter-device-preferred-primary", TAG+="mutter-device-disable-kms-modifiers"
  # XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland dbus-run-session -- /usr/bin/gnome-shell --wayland --no-x11 &
