An imported dma-buf BO backed by a VRAM-capable exporter holds no host
pages of its own, yet when validated into TTM_PL_TT it is charged against
the GTT page budget; importing many such buffers can exhaust that budget
and fail with -ENOMEM even though no host memory is used. Set
AMDGPU_GEM_CREATE_PREEMPTIBLE on these imports so they land in the PREEMPT
domain instead, which is GTT-like and still bound (keeping the exporter
resident) but carries no host-page limit.
