Ah, right. So there was two life-cycle changes:
1- Lazily unmap the mapping and only do it on: a) release b) if the gfn is
different. This was done as an optimization (i.e. cache of a single entry).
This is the first life-cycle change that Paolo asked me to do seperately and
suggested to create a PFN cache instead. This has indeed been dropped
between v1 -> v2 switch.
2- The life-cycle change now is the fact that the kvm_vcpu_map interface does:
a) map to a virtual address b) translate a gfn to a pfn.
The original code was doing the kmap in one location and the gfn_to_page in
another. Using kvm_vcpu_map means that both kmap+gfn_to_page will be tied
together and will not be done seperately. So far no one complained about
this one so I kept it :D
