Hi Keqian,

The MMIO regions may be unmapped for many reasons and can be remapped
by stage2 fault path. Map MMIO regions at creation time becomes a
minor optimization and makes these two mapping path hard to sync.

Remove the mapping code while keep the useful sanity check.

After removing the logic to create stage2 mapping for VM_PFNMAP region,
I think the "do { } while" loop becomes unnecessary and can be dropped
completely. It means the only sanity check is to see if the memory slot
overflows IPA space or not. In that case, KVM_MR_FLAGS_ONLY can be
ignored because the memory slot's base address and length aren't changed
when we have KVM_MR_FLAGS_ONLY.

It seems the patch isn't based on "next" branch because find_vma() was
replaced by find_vma_intersection() by one of my patches :)

Thanks,
Gavin
