The vm_reserve_va_node struct is essentially a special VM area that
can be used for sparse mappings and fixed mappings. The name of this
struct is somewhat confusing (as node is typically used for list
items). Though this struct is a part of a list it doesn't really
make sense to call this a list item since it's much more. Based on
that the struct has been renamed to nvgpu_vm_area to capture the
actual use of the struct more accurately.
This also moves all of the management code of vm areas to a new file
devoted solely to vm_area management.
Also add a brief overview of the VM architecture. This should help
other people follow along the hierachy of ownership and lifetimes in
the rather complex MM code.

This patch begins splitting out the VM implementation from mm_gk20a.c and
moves it to common/linux/vm.c and common/mm/vm.c. This split is necessary
because the VM code has two portions: first, an interface for the OS
specific code to use (i.e userspace mappings), and second, a set of APIs
for the driver to use (init, cleanup, etc) which are not OS specific.
This is only the beginning of the split - there's still a lot of things
that need to be carefully moved around.

This patch begins the major rework of the GPU's virtual memory manager
(VMM). The VMM is the piece of code that handles the userspace interface
to buffers and their mappings into the GMMU. The core data structure is
the VM - for now still known as 'struct vm_gk20a'. Each one of these
structs represents one addres space to which channels or TSGs may bind
themselves to.
The VMM splits the interface up into two broad categories. First there's
the common, OS independent interfaces; and second there's the OS specific
interfaces.
OS independent
--------------
This is the code that manages the lifetime of VMs, the buffers inside
VMs (search, batch mapping) creation, destruction, etc.
OS Specific
-----------
This handles mapping of buffers represented as they are represented by
the OS (dma_buf's for example on Linux).
This patch is by no means complete. There's still Linux specific functions
scattered in ostensibly OS independent code. This is the first step. A
patch that rewrites everything in one go would simply be too big to
effectively review.
Instead the goal of this change is to simply separate out the basic
OS specific and OS agnostic interfaces into their own header files. The
next series of patches will start to pull the relevant implementations
into OS specific C files and common C files.
