[AMD Official Use Only - AMD Internal Distribution Only] I see.
"Additional to that BO lists are not really used that much any more, OpenGL Mesa has completely dropped them IIRC and RADV isn't using them either." I suppose this is a corner case, here I'm facing a Vulkan App uses lots of VK_EXT_external_memory_host, these kind of BOs created from amdgpu_gem_userptr_ioctl, and can not be VM_ALWAYS_VALID, that make UMD have to pass all of them to KMD on each command buffer submission, this makes amdgpu_cs_parser_bos take much longer(~1.5ms on strix1), that's why I'm trying to reuse the bo_list handle instead of let KMD creating temporary bo_list on each submission. Any other suggestions will be grateful.

That we have the HMM range in the BO list is extremely questionable to begin with but wasn't doable otherwise in the past. Additional to that BO lists are not really used that much any more, OpenGL Mesa has completely dropped them IIRC and RADV isn't using them either.
