This is really misnamed and took me a while to get it.
It has nothing to do with kernel P2P, you are just allowing more
selective filtering of dev_private_owner. You should focus on that in
the naming, not p2p. ie allow_dev_private()
P2P is stuff that is dealing with MEMORY_DEVICE_PCI_P2PDMA.
This is just allowing more instances of the same driver to co-ordinate
their device private memory handle, for whatever purpose.
Otherwise I don't see a particular problem, though we have talked
about widening the matching for device_private more broadly using some
kind of grouping tag or something like that instead of a callback. You
may consider that as an alternative
I would also probably try to have less indirection, you can embedd the
hmm_range struct inside a caller private data struct and use that
instead if inventing a whole new struct and pointer.
