Mhm, of hand that doesn't sounds like a valid test case. Do you have the 
code at hand?

I have no idea what you mean with that.

TTM manages buffer objects and resources, not address space. The 
lpfn/fpfn parameter for the resource allocators are actually used as 
just two independent parameters and not define any range. We just keep 
the names for historical reasons.

The only places we still use and compare them as ranges are 
ttm_resource_compat() and ttm_bo_eviction_valuable() and I already have 
patches to clean up those and move them into the backend resource handling.
