In preparation for the next patch to convert to using an anonymous union and leaving the excess bytes in the union uninitialised, we first need to make sure we do not compare using those uninitialised bytes. We also want to preserve the compactness of the code, avoiding a second call to memcmp or introducing a switch, so we take advantage of using the type as an encoded size (as well as a unique identifier for each type of view). v2: Add the rationale for why we encode size into ggtt_view.type as a comment before the memcmp() v3: Use a switch to also assert that no two i915_ggtt_view_type have the same value.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
