mainlining shenanigans

Both pread/pwrite GTT paths provide a fast fallback in case we cannot map the whole object at a time. Currently, we use the fallback for very large objects and for active objects that would require remapping, but we can also add active fault mappable objects to the list that we want to avoid evicting. The rationale is that such fault mappable objects are in active use and to evict requires tearing down the CPU PTE and forcing a page fault on the next access; more costly, and intefers with other processes, than our per-page GTT fallback.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
