NAK on hiding random exports in a driver patch. This needs to be a proper patch with a proper rationale, a kerneldoc comment and use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. And even then it smells rather fishy, but I'll wait for the rationale.
Yeah, I missed that in internal review. I agree this needs to be a separate patch.
The rationale is, that the GPU driver needs to be able to look up and claim the resource corresponding to its VRAM in order to register it as DEVICE_GENERIC memory with devmap. If there is a better way to do this, I'm open to suggestions.
