mm/hmm: remove unused code and tidy comments

Delete several functions that are never called, fix some desync between
comments and structure content, toss the now out of date top of file
header, and move one function only used by hmm.c into hmm.c

- * Heterogeneous Memory Management (HMM)
- *
- * See Documentation/vm/hmm.rst for reasons and overview of what HMM is and it
- * is for. Here we focus on the HMM API description, with some explanation of
- * the underlying implementation.
- *
- * Short description: HMM provides a set of helpers to share a virtual address
- * space between CPU and a device, so that the device can access any valid
- * address of the process (while still obeying memory protection). HMM also
- * provides helpers to migrate process memory to device memory, and back. Each
- * set of functionality (address space mirroring, and migration to and from
- * device memory) can be used independently of the other.
- *
- *
- * HMM address space mirroring API:
- *
- * Use HMM address space mirroring if you want to mirror a range of the CPU
- * page tables of a process into a device page table. Here, "mirror" means "keep
- * synchronized". Prerequisites: the device must provide the ability to write-
- * protect its page tables (at PAGE_SIZE granularity), and must be able to
- * recover from the resulting potential page faults.
  *
- * HMM guarantees that at any point in time, a given virtual address points to
- * either the same memory in both CPU and device page tables (that is: CPU and
- * device page tables each point to the same pages), or that one page table (CPU
- * or device) points to no entry, while the other still points to the old page
- * for the address. The latter case happens when the CPU page table update
- * happens first, and then the update is mirrored over to the device page table.
- * This does not cause any issue, because the CPU page table cannot start
- * pointing to a new page until the device page table is invalidated.
- *
- * HMM uses mmu_notifiers to monitor the CPU page tables, and forwards any
- * updates to each device driver that has registered a mirror. It also provides
- * some API calls to help with taking a snapshot of the CPU page table, and to
- * synchronize with any updates that might happen concurrently.
- *
- *
- * HMM migration to and from device memory:
- *
- * HMM provides a set of helpers to hotplug device memory as ZONE_DEVICE, with
- * a new MEMORY_DEVICE_PRIVATE type. This provides a struct page for each page
- * of the device memory, and allows the device driver to manage its memory
- * using those struct pages. Having struct pages for device memory makes
- * migration easier. Because that memory is not addressable by the CPU it must
- * never be pinned to the device; in other words, any CPU page fault can always
- * cause the device memory to be migrated (copied/moved) back to regular memory.
- *
- * A new migrate helper (migrate_vma()) has been added (see mm/migrate.c) that
- * allows use of a device DMA engine to perform the copy operation between
- * regular system memory and device memory.
+ * See Documentation/vm/hmm.rst for reasons and overview of what HMM is.
