+/**
+ * DOC: Intel GVT-g guest support
+ *
+ * Intel GVT-g is a graphics virtualization technology which shares the
+ * GPU among multiple virtual machines on a time-sharing basis. Each
+ * virtual machine is presented a virtual GPU (vGPU), which has equivalent
+ * features as the underlying physical GPU (pGPU), so i915 driver can run
+ * seamlessly in a virtual machine. This file provides vGPU specific
+ * optimizations when running in a virtual machine, to reduce the complexity
+ * of vGPU emulation and to improve the overall performance.
+ *
+ * A primary function introduced here is so-called "address space ballooning"
+ * technique. Intel GVT-g partitions global graphics memory among multiple VMs,
+ * so each VM can directly access a portion of the memory without hypervisor's
+ * intervention, e.g. filling textures or queuing commands. However with the
+ * partitioning an unmodified i915 driver would assume a smaller graphics
+ * memory starting from address ZERO, then requires vGPU emulation module to
+ * translate the graphics address between 'guest view' and 'host view', for
+ * all registers and command opcodes which contain a graphics memory address.
+ * To reduce the complexity, Intel GVT-g introduces "address space ballooning",
+ * by telling the exact partitioning knowledge to each guest i915 driver, which
+ * then reserves and prevents non-allocated portions from allocation. Thus vGPU
+ * emulation module only needs to scan and validate graphics addresses without
+ * complexity of address translation.
