Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 0/3] KVM: allow mapping of compound tail pages for IO or PFNMAP mapping

This is a v2 for previous series [1] to allow mapping for compound tail
pages for IO or PFNMAP mapping.

Compared to v1, this version provides selftest to check functionality in
KVM to map memslots for MMIO BARs (VMAs with flag VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP), as
requested by Sean in [1].

The selftest can also be used to test series "allow mapping non-refcounted
pages" [2].

Tag RFC is added because a test driver is introduced in patch 2, which is
new to KVM selftest, and test "set_memory_region_io" in patch 3 depends on
that the test driver is compiled and loaded in kernel.
Besides, patch 3 calls vm_set_user_memory_region() directly without
modifying vm_mem_add().
So, this series is sent to ensure the main direction is right.

Thanks
Yan

v2:
added patch 2 and 3 to do selftest for patch 1 (Sean).
