[RFC PATCH v2 2/2] kvm/arm64: Try stage2 block mapping for host device MMIO

Hi Marc,

I think I have fully tested this patch. The next step is to do some restriction on
HVA in vfio module, so we can build block mapping for it with a higher probability.

Is there anything to improve? If not, could you apply it? ^_^

Thanks,
Keqian
