Maybe we just need rename GART functions to SYSVM.
That is essentially what I've did.
In recent discussion we a couple of times the problem that we need to distinguish between the system VM and the GART/GTT domain from TTM.
See starting with R6xx I think we used the system VM to implement the old GART functionality from AGP days.
The name stayed the same over the years, but we ran into the problem that we wanted to reduce the size of the system VM to save VRAM while still having a large GTT domain in TTM to map all system memory at the same time.
So that the TTM parts stay the same is intentional. Regards, Christian. Am 04.07.2017 um 05:13 schrieb Zhou, David(ChunMing):
Distinguishing system vm and general vm is a good idea, but I'm not sure about renaming GTT to sysvm part, especially TTM TT stays there. Maybe we just need rename GART functions to SYSVM.

The name of symbols related to the TTM TT domain stay the same. This should improve the distinction between the two. Signed-off-by: Christian König <[email protected]> ---
