Turing introduced a new simplified page kind scheme, reducing the number of possible page kinds from 256 to 16. It also is the first NVIDIA GPU in which the highest possible page kind value is not reserved as an "invalid" page kind. To address this, the invalid page kind is made an explicit property of the MMU HAL, and a new table of page kinds is added to the tu102 MMU HAL. One hardware change not addressed here is that 0x00 is technically no longer a supported page kind, and pitch surfaces are instead intended to share the block-linear generic page kind 0x06. However, because that will be a rather invasive change to nouveau and 0x00 still works fine in practice on Turing hardware, addressing this new behavior is deferred.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
