This series adds support for nova-core memory management, including VRAM
allocation, PRAMIN, VMM, page table walking, and BAR 1 read/writes.
These are critical for channel management, vGPU, and all other memory
management uses of nova-core.

It is based on linux -next and all patches, along with all the dependencies
(such as buddy bindings, CList), can be found at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jfern/linux.git (tag: nova-mm-v9-20260310)

Change log:

Changes from v8 to v9:
- Added fixes from Zhi Wang for bitfield position changes in virtual address
  and larger BAR1 size on some platforms. Tested and working for vGPU usecase!
- Refactored gsp: boot() to return only GspStaticInfo, removing FbLayout (Alex)
- bar1_pde_base and bar2_pde_base are now accessed via GspStaticInfo directly (Alex)
- Added new patch "gsp: Expose total physical VRAM end from FB region info"
  introducing total_fb_end() to expose VRAM extent. (Alex)
- Consolidated usable VRAM and BarUser setup; removed dedicated
  "fb: Add usable_vram field to FbLayout", "mm: Use usable VRAM region for
  buddy allocator", and "mm: Add BarUser to struct Gpu and create at boot".

Changes from v7 to v8:
- Incorporated "Select GPU_BUDDY for VRAM allocation" patch from the
  dependency series (Alex).
- Significant patch reordering for better logical flow (GSP/FB patches
  moved earlier, page table patches, Vmm, Bar1, tests) (Alex).
- Replaced several 'as' usages with into_safe_cast() (Danilo, Alex).
- Updated BAR 1 test cases to include exercising the block size API (Eliot, Danilo).

Changes from v6 to v7:
- Addressed DMA fence signalling usecase per Danilo's feedback.

Pre v6:
- Simplified PRAMIN code (John Hubbard, Alex Courbot).
- Handled different MMU versions: ver2 versus ver3 (John Hubbard).
- Added BAR1 usecase so we have user of DRM Buddy / VMM (John Hubbard).
- Iterating over clist/buddy bindings.
