drm/ttm: Refuse to fault (prime-) imported pages
we introduced the restriction that imported pages should not be directly
mappable through TTM(this also extends to userptr). In the next patch we
want to introduce a shmem_tt backend, which should follow all the
existing rules with TTM_PAGE_FLAG_EXTERNAL, since it will need to handle
swapping itself, but with the above mapping restriction lifted.
v2(Christian):
- Don't OR together EXTERNAL and EXTERNAL_MAPPABLE in the definition
of EXTERNAL_MAPPABLE, just leave it the caller to handle this
correctly, otherwise we might encounter subtle issues.

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.
