With amdgpu and CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS=y, there are
errors like:
BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm
and:
BUG: Bad rss-counter state
with TTM transparent huge-pages.
Until we've figured out what other TTM drivers do differently compared to
vmwgfx, disable the huge_fault() callback, eliminating transhuge
page-table entries.

Without being able to test and track this down on amdgpu there's little more than this I can do at the moment. Hopefully I'll be able to test on nouveau/ttm after getting back from vacation to see if I can reproduce.

It looks like some part of the kernel mistakes a huge page-table entry for a page directory, and that would be a path that is not hit with vmwgfx.
