Sorry, I don't remember, what is the scenario where KVM can have a
mapping in stage 2 without there being a corresponding mapping for user
space?

But this part about the stage 2 mapping size is not what the code does.
It uses the granularity of the mmap region, if I'm not mistaken.

I lost track of what the right thing was, can you remind me?
