This is v17 of the Rust GEM shmem bindings series from Lyude Paul, originally from Asahi/Daniel Almeida. The series adds vmap functions, scatter-gather table support, a `SetOnce::reset()` primitive, and a faux device API fix. The patches are generally well-structured and show significant iteration (v17!) driven by community feedback.

The code quality is high overall. The safety invariants are documented, the RAII patterns (DmaResvGuard, VMap, SGTableMap) are sound, and the test coverage is reasonable for kernel code. There are a few issues worth flagging:

**Key concerns:**
1. `dma_resv_lock()` return value is silently discarded in `DmaResvGuard::new()` -- while safe with NULL ctx (mirrors C-side patterns), it's worth documenting why.
2. `__drm_gem_shmem_free_sgt_locked()` does not exist in the current drm-next tree. This appears to be a dependency on drm-rust-next that should be documented or ensured to land first. The interaction with `drm_gem_shmem_release()` (which also cleans up sgt) needs the new function to NULL out `shmem->sgt` to avoid a double-free.
3. The faux `AsRef` change (patch 4) is a breaking API change that could affect other users of `faux::Registration`.

**Minor items:** A couple of safety comment improvements and a typo.
