Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] mm,drm/ttm: Use VM_PFNMAP for TTM vmas

To block fast gup we need to make sure TTM ptes are always special.
With MIXEDMAP we, on architectures that don't support pte_special,
insert normal ptes, but OTOH on those architectures, fast is not
supported.
At the same time, the function documentation to vm_normal_page() suggests
that ptes pointing to system memory pages of MIXEDMAP vmas are always
normal, but that doesn't seem consistent with what's implemented in
vmf_insert_mixed(). I'm thus not entirely sure this patch is actually
needed.

But to make sure and to avoid also normal (non-fast) gup, make all
TTM vmas PFNMAP. With PFNMAP we can't allow COW mappings
anymore so make is_cow_mapping() available and use it to reject
COW mappigs at mmap time.

There was previously a comment in the code that WC mappings together
with x86 PAT + PFNMAP was bad for performance. However from looking at
vmf_insert_mixed() it looks like in the current code PFNMAP and MIXEDMAP
are handled the same for architectures that support pte_special. This
means there should not be a performance difference anymore, but this
needs to be verified.
