Direct gtt range is used in the page fault scene in current driver, instead of stolen page. So no need to keep relative process.
Hi
Are you saying that we don't use stolen memory? Afaik stolen memory should be accessed through the stolen range so we do need this.

As far as I can see, the stolen memory is only used by fbdev driver in gma500, but the fbdev driver maps the stloen memory directly in psbfb_vm_fault, not using psb_gem_fault to map the stolen memory. The only scenario using the psb_gem_fault is the gtt range created by psb_gem_create, which alloc the gtt range without stolen memory backed.
If I missed something, pls enlighten me. Thanks a lot.
