Keqian Zhu 2aa53d68ce KVM: arm64: Try stage2 block mapping for host device MMIO
The MMIO region of a device maybe huge (GB level), try to use
block mapping in stage2 to speedup both map and unmap.

Compared to normal memory mapping, we should consider two more
points when try block mapping for MMIO region:

1. For normal memory mapping, the PA(host physical address) and
HVA have same alignment within PUD_SIZE or PMD_SIZE when we use
the HVA to request hugepage, so we don't need to consider PA
alignment when verifing block mapping. But for device memory
mapping, the PA and HVA may have different alignment.

2. For normal memory mapping, we are sure hugepage size properly
fit into vma, so we don't check whether the mapping size exceeds
the boundary of vma. But for device memory mapping, we should pay
attention to this.

This adds get_vma_page_shift() to get page shift for both normal
memory and device MMIO region, and check these two points when
selecting block mapping size for MMIO region.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
