Alex Waterman 46666ed101 gpu: nvgpu: Document VM map API ...

Provide concrete documentation for the VM mapping API. This shall be
the gold standard!

One of the major goals of this API is to keep the design simple. There
are features that could be implemented in the kernel but were explictly
chosen not to be. Example: partial mappings. The less work the kernel
does the easier it is to verify against the API specifications. Security
follows as well: the more simple the API the easier it is to ensure
there are no easily exploitable corner cases.
