Problem with explicit placement selection in vmwgfx is that by the time the buffer object needs to be validated the information about which placement was supposed to be used is lost. To workaround this the driver had a bunch of state in various places e.g. as_mob or cpu_blit to somehow convey the information on which placement was intended. Fix it properly by allowing the buffer objects to hold their preferred placement so it can be reused whenever needed. This makes the entire validation pipeline a lot easier both to understand and maintain.

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.
