Subject: [PATCH] kvm, x86: Properly check whether a pfn is an MMIO or not

pfn_valid check is not sufficient because it only checks if a page has a struct
page or not, if for example "mem=" was passed to the kernel some valid pages
won't have a struct page. This means that if guests were assigned valid memory
that lies after the mem= boundary it will be passed uncached to the guest no
matter what the guest caching attributes are for this memory.

Use the original e820 map to check whether a certain pfn belongs to RAM or not.
