This assumes the default P40V48 4KB guest creation, so perhaps you'd
want to change this to __vm_create(VM_SHAPE(), 1, 0) so the test runs too on other 
16KB and 64KB kernels? I've been testing it with your stage 2 unmapping
optimization series together with this v3 KVM selftest series.

Thanks,
Itaru.
