Nit: The header file <asm/kvm_rme.h> has been included to <asm/kvm_host.h> and
<linux/kvm_host.h>, which has been included to arm.c. So this explicit inclusion
can be dropped.

Nit: The comment can be moved before the check, something like below. Otherwise,
{} is needed here.

/* Only 4kB page size is supported */
if (PAGE_SIZE != SZ_4K)
return;

Nit: same as above.
