Can't we kill it entirely? It's always been horrid. Just let the IOMMU
driver fill the page tables as it sees according to the virtual/physical
size and alignment of the range it's asked to map.

We already lie about the supported page sizes in the Intel VT-d driver
and claim to support everything, just to make the caller "Just Ask" as
it should.

We might have to fix the loop that KVM uses to unmap pages, and
potentially the bizarre unmap() API which returns the page size that it
unmapped, but we should do that anyway :)

Perhaps we could have an unmap function which returns a list of unmapped
pages chained on pg->freelist, if this was the last use of those pages
(as ISTR it is in the KVM case).
