Subject: [PATCH] RISC-V: KVM: Remove automatic I/O mapping for VM_PFNMAP

From: Fangyu Yu <fangyu.yu@...ux.alibaba.com>

As of commit aac6db75a9fc ("vfio/pci: Use unmap_mapping_range()"),
vm_pgoff may no longer guaranteed to hold the PFN for VM_PFNMAP
regions. Using vma->vm_pgoff to derive the HPA here may therefore
produce incorrect mappings.

Instead, I/O mappings for such regions can be established on-demand
during g-stage page faults, making the upfront ioremap in this path
is unnecessary.

Fixes: 9d05c1fee837 ("RISC-V: KVM: Implement stage2 page table programming")
