Hi,

With the new ttm stuff, drm map handles (user_token in kernel space) is
moving over to opaque 32 bit numbers to facilitate fast hash lookups of
drm maps.

Some drivers (both 2D and 3D) used to assume that the 32-bit drm map
handle was equal to the physical address of the region to map, whereas now
it will be a page-aligned hashed value of an arbitrary kernel virtual
address.

Does anybody know about drivers that still makes use of the old
assumption, and in that case is that something worth preserving? It's
certainly possible to preserve the old behaviour for some 32-bit address
ranges, but at some performance cost.
