At this stage, why not follow the architecture and simply expose it as
ID_AA64MMFR0_EL1.TGran{4,64,16}_2? That's exactly what it is for, and
we already check for this in KVM itself.

I'm not sure that's the expected behaviour for ioremap(), for example
(you can ioremap two portions of the same page successfully).

I guess MAP could return something indicating that the page is already
mapped, but I wouldn't want to return a hard failure in this case.
