[PATCH RFC v6 26/26] nova-core: mm: Add BarUser to struct Gpu and create at boot

2026-01-20T20:44:44Z

Add a BarUser field to struct Gpu and eagerly create it during GPU
initialization. The BarUser provides the BAR1 user interface for CPU
access to GPU virtual memory through the GPU's MMU.

The BarUser is initialized using BAR1 PDE base address from GSP static
info, MMU version and BAR1 size obtained from platform device.
