Thanks for your reply! Android Cuttlefish virtual platform is using
the virtio-gpu driver, and we currently are carrying this small patch
at the downstream side. This is essential for us because:
(1) Android has deprecated debugfs on production devices already
(2) Android GPU drivers are not DRM based, and this won't change in a
short term.

Android relies on this tracepoint + eBPF to make the GPU memory totals
available at runtime on production devices, which has been enforced
already. Not only game developers can have a reliable kernel total GPU
memory to look at, but also Android leverages this to take GPU memory
usage out from the system lost ram.

I'm not sure whether the other DRM drivers would like to integrate
this tracepoint(maybe upstream drivers will move away from debugfs
later as well?), but at least we hope virtio-gpu can take this.

Many thanks!
