The vma already contains most of the information we need for insertion. But also in preparation for supporting huge gtt pages, it would be useful to know the details of the vma, such that we can we can easily determine the page sizes we are allowed to use when inserting into the 48b PPGTT. This is especially true for 64K where we can't just arbitrarily use it, since we require aligning/padding the vm space to 2M, which sometimes we can't enforce in the upper levels.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
