This is going to sound odd, but I think we should use gfn_to_page(), i.e. require
that the page be a refcounted page so that it can be pinned.  Long story short,
one of my learnings from the whole non-refcounted pages saga is that doing DMA
to unpinned pages outside of mmu_lock is wildly unsafe, and for all intents and
purposes the ASP is a device doing DMA.  I'm also pretty sure KVM should actually
*pin* pages, as in FOLL_PIN, but I'm ok tackling that later.

For now, using gfn_to_pages() would avoid creating ABI (DMA to VM_PFNMAP and/or
VM_MIXEDMAP memory) that KVM probably doesn't want to support in the long term.

I don't see how this is safe.  KVM holds no locks, i.e. can't guarantee that the
resp_pfn stays private for the duration of the operation.  And on the opposite
side, KVM can't guarantee that resp_pfn isn't being actively used by something
in the kernel, e.g. KVM might induce an unexpected #PF(RMP).

Why can't KVM require that the response/destination page already be private?  I'm
also somewhat confused by the reclaim below.  If KVM converts the response page
back to shared, doesn't that clobber the data?  If so, how does the guest actually
get the response?  I feel like I'm missing something.

Regardless of whether or not I'm missing something, this needs comments, and the
changelog needs to be rewritten with --verbose to explain what's going on.

This leaks both req_pfn and resp_pfn.
