Will change:
    pub(crate) fn flush(&self, pdb_addr: VramAddress)

to:
   pub(crate) fn flush(&mut self, pdb_addr: VramAddress)


and also changing in mm/mod.rs:
    pub(crate) fn tlb(&self) -> &Tlb {
to:
    pub(crate) fn tlb(&mut self) -> &mut Tlb.

Since TLB operations modify registers, that does make sense to me.

For the buddy allocator, however, I am locking internally so I left it as is:
    /// Access the [`GpuBuddy`] allocator.
    pub(crate) fn buddy(&self) -> &GpuBuddy {
        &self.buddy
    }
