We need to generalise our accessor for the page directories and tables from using the simple kmap_atomic to support local memory, and this setup must be done on acquisition of the backing storage prior to entering fence execution contexts. Here we replace the kmap with the object mapping code that for simple single page shmemfs object will return a plain kmap, that is then kept for the lifetime of the page directory. Note that keeping the mapping around is a potential concern here, since while the vma is pinned the mapping remains there for the PDs underneath, or at least until the used_count reaches zero, at which point we can safely destroy the mapping. For 32b this will be even worse since the address space is more limited, but since this change mostly impacts full ppGTT platforms, the justification is that for modern platforms we shouldn't care too much about 32b.

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.
