Hi folks,

Changes since v2 [1]:
  - Return a failed walk's error to the callers and warn there, instead
    of inside the walk. (Oliver)
  - Dropped the comment on the next-mapping lookup. (Vincent)
  - Collected Reviewed-by from Vincent on patch 2. (thanks!)

Two patches that make stage-2 teardown take time proportional to what
is mapped, rather than to the size of the IPA space as it has since
4ddfab5436b6.

Under QEMU TCG ('-cpu max', 16K pages with LPA2), destroying even an
empty VM takes about 7 seconds in pKVM. Without pKVM it takes about 19
seconds if the VM requests a 52-bit IPA (crosvm requests the host's
limit). With the series, both take well under a second. Tested only
under QEMU.

The first has the page-table walk return where it stopped, so that the
teardown steps over an invalid entry larger than a block-sized chunk in
one go. The second has pKVM return where its next mapping starts.

Based on Linux 7.4-rc1 (6628e7d4c6b25).

Cheers,
