Looking at branch 'topics/rmm-v2.0-poc_2' of RMM implementation, the granule size
is fixed to be 4KB at present. I'm not sure if I have looked into correct RMM
implementation, but 'topics/rmm-v2.0-poc_2' is recommended one in the cover
letter.

Besides, there has checks in the handler of the RMI command to make sure that
struct rmm_config::tracking_region_size to be 1GB, indicated by zero. It maybe
worthy to set it before call to rmi_rmm_config_set().

	config.tracking_region_size = 0; /* 1GB */
	ret = rmi_rmm_config_set(virt_to_phys(config));
