Patch series "add remap_pfn_range_notrack instead of reinventing it in i915", v2. i915 has some reason to want to avoid the track_pfn_remap overhead in remap_pfn_range. Add a function to the core VM to do just that rather than reinventing the functionality poorly in the driver. Note that the remap_io_sg path does get exercises when using Xorg on my Thinkpad X1, so this should be considered lightly tested, I've not managed to hit the remap_io_mapping path at all. This patch (of 4): Add a version of remap_pfn_range that does not call track_pfn_range. This will be used to fix horrible abuses of VM internals in the i915 driver.

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.
