	 *
	 * Only valid when placing objects in I915_MEMORY_CLASS_DEVICE, and only
	 * strictly required on configurations where some subset of the device
	 * memory is directly visible/mappable through the CPU (which we also
	 * call small BAR), like on some DG2+ systems. Note that this is quite
	 * undesirable, but due to various factors like the client CPU, BIOS etc
	 * it's something we can expect to see in the wild. See
	 * &__drm_i915_memory_region_info.probed_cpu_visible_size for how to
	 * determine if this system applies.
	 *
	 * Note that one of the placements MUST be I915_MEMORY_CLASS_SYSTEM, to
	 * ensure the kernel can always spill the allocation to system memory,
	 * if the object can't be allocated in the mappable part of
	 * I915_MEMORY_CLASS_DEVICE.
	 *
	 * Also note that since the kernel only supports flat-CCS on objects
	 * that can *only* be placed in I915_MEMORY_CLASS_DEVICE, we therefore
	 * don't support I915_GEM_CREATE_EXT_FLAG_NEEDS_CPU_ACCESS together with
	 * flat-CCS.
	 *
	 * Without this hint, the kernel will assume that non-mappable
	 * I915_MEMORY_CLASS_DEVICE is preferred for this object. Note that the
	 * kernel can still migrate the object to the mappable part, as a last
	 * resort, if userspace ever CPU faults this object, but this might be
	 * expensive, and so ideally should be avoided.
	 *
	 * On older kernels which lack the relevant small-bar uAPI support (see
	 * also &__drm_i915_memory_region_info.probed_cpu_visible_size),
	 * usage of the flag will result in an error, but it should NEVER be
	 * possible to end up with a small BAR configuration, assuming we can
	 * also successfully load the i915 kernel module. In such cases the
