Yeah, we found it sucky to understand. The current documentation is
"buy benh a beer and ask him" which doesn't scale very well unless
you're benh and you like beer.

We are calling this on behalf of a co-processor (eg cxl). The mm this
is currently associated with may not be running on a cpu.

Ok, I'll add something (mpe had the same question).
