Christian,

I was thinking when we replace the bo.mem with a pointer (and perhaps 
have a driver callback to allocate the bo->mem,
we could perhaps embed a struct ttm_kmap_iter and use it for all mapping 
in one way or another). That would mean perhaps land this is i915 now 
and sort out the unification once the struct ttm_resource, struct 
ttm_buffer_object separation has landed?
