nit: in general, we use __foo() as the primitive for foo(), rather
than foo_with_icing_on_top().

This really deserves a comment about *why* you make such decision. I
also find it a bit odd that you use the permissions to decide whether
to map a block or a not. It feels like the permission is more of a
side effect than anything else.

OK, so you have *two* mechanisms here: once to decide if a range can
be mapped as a block or not, and another one to remember the result
while walking the S2 PTW. This probably deserves some documentation
and/or patch splitting.

There is something in me screaming that kvm_block_mapping_supported()
should be the point where we check for these things...  Or at least a
helper function that takes 'data' as a parameter.

Reading this makes me want to rename want_pte_cb() to force_pte_cb()...
