If the user doesn't require CPU access for the buffer, then
ALLOC_GPU_ONLY should be used, in order to prioritise allocating in the
non-mappable portion of LMEM, on devices with small BAR.

v2(Thomas):
  - The BO_ALLOC_TOPDOWN naming here is poor, since this is pure lies on
    systems that don't even have small BAR. A better name is GPU_ONLY,
    which is accurate regardless of the configuration.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
