I requested changes in the last version and have yet to go through this one. I
also think that Alex still has some comments (Cc'd him).

Please note that if this goes through the Rust tree, we have to wait for the
full upcoming cycle before we can land the GPU buddy abstractions.

Alternatively, if it goes through the Rust tree, Miguel can provide a signed tag
for me to merge or we can simply take it through the drm-rust tree in the first
place, if Miguel agrees with that.

They are in drm-misc-next, I will merge into drm-rust-next once they hit
drm-next and -rc1 is out.

This is now (at least) the third time I have to ask for a patch changelog.

	"When sending a next version, add a patch changelog to the cover letter
	or to individual patches explaining difference against previous
	submission (see The canonical patch format)." [1, 2]

Please, add a patch changelog.

(This also goes for the nova-core MM series, which is flagged as v7 despite
actually being v2).
