That code is indeed odd, but there's a comment in the xe_vma definition

/**
* @userptr: user pointer state, only allocated for VMAs that are
* user pointers
*/
struct xe_userptr userptr;

although I agree that it should probably simply be made a final
variably-sized array instead (and then you make that array size be
0/1).
