So you can see update and user of this there:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~glisse/linux/log/?h=hmm-intel-v00
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~glisse/linux/log/?h=hmm-nouveau-v01
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~glisse/linux/log/?h=hmm-radeon-v00

I am still working on Mellanox and AMD GPU patchset.

I will post the HMM changes that adapt to Michal shortly as anyway
thus have been sufficiently tested by now.

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~glisse/linux/commit/?h=hmm-4.20&id=78785dcb5ba0924c2c5e7be027793f99ebbc39f3
