If the user doesn't require CPU access for the buffer, then
ALLOC_GPU_ONLY should be used, in order to prioritise allocating in the
non-mappable portion of LMEM, on devices with small BAR.
v2(Thomas):
- The BO_ALLOC_TOPDOWN naming here is poor, since this is pure lies on
systems that don't even have small BAR. A better name is GPU_ONLY,
which is accurate regardless of the configuration.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
