[PATCH 04/16] gpu: nova-core: mm: pagetable: Add PteOps trait

From: Eliot Courtney

Date: Wed Sep 09 2026 - 00:00:31 EST


From: Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@xxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce a trait for GPU Page Table Entries (PTEs). New
`read()`/`write()` helpers are provided that go through a
`Pramin`).

The forthcoming MMU v2, v3 PTE structs will each implement `PteOps`,
allowing the later page-table walker and mapper to call PTE operations.
