Missing Signed-off-by.

This has nothing to do with this patch, the commit message only talks about
adding flags to struct drm_gpuva_op_map.

Please create a new patch for further changes, v4 of this was fine as is.

Spurious change.

Please drop this indirection if the only criteria is that both must be sparse.

Again, this has nothing to do with this commit, please add a separate patch for
this with a proper commit message explaining the motivation.

Also, this callback appears to be unused and seems to contradict the static
check for compatible merge flags in the hunk above.
