The new VM_BIND interface only supported 4K pages. This was problematic as it left performance on the table because GPUs don't have sophisticated TLB and page walker hardware.
Additionally, the HW can only do compression on large (64K) and huge (2M) pages, which is a major performance booster (>50% in some cases). This patchset sets out to add support for larger page sizes and also enable compression and set the compression tags when userspace binds with the corresponding PTE kinds and alignment. It also increments the nouveau version number which allows userspace to use compression only when the kernel actually supports both features and avoid breaking the system if a newer mesa version is paired with an older kernel version.
