Subject: [PATCH 8/9] x86/xen: do not use _PAGE_IOMAP PTE flag for I/O mappings

Since mfn_to_pfn() returns the correct PFN for identity mappings (as
used for MMIO regions), the use of _PAGE_IOMAP is not required in
pte_mfn_to_pfn().

Do not set the _PAGE_IOMAP flag in pte_pfn_to_mfn() and do not use it
in pte_mfn_to_pfn().

This will allow _PAGE_IOMAP to be removed, making it available for
future use.
