As we were only supporting aliasing_ppgtt on gen7 for some time, we saved a few checks by preallocating the page directories on creation. However, since we need 2MiB of page directories for each ppgtt, to support arbitrary numbers of user contexts, we need to be more prudent in our allocations, and defer the page allocation until it is used. We don't recover unused pages yet as we found that doing so on the fly (i.e. altering TLB entries) would confuse the GPU.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
