Subject: [PATCH 6/9] x86/xen: do not use _PAGE_IOMAP in xen_remap_domain_mfn_range()

_PAGE_IOMAP is used in xen_remap_domain_mfn_range() to prevent the
pfn_pte() call in remap_area_mfn_pte_fn() from using the p2m to translate
the MFN.  If mfn_pte() is used instead, the p2m look up is avoided and
the use of _PAGE_IOMAP is no longer needed.
