I think introducing kvm_handle_hva_range() is the right thing if we really
care about unmapping large area at once.
Current iteration:
for each page
for each slot
for each level
My suggestion:
for each slot
for each level
for each page
This way compiler can optimize the task to be a simple iteration over the
rmap array.
But I could not imagine why unmapping 128GB is needed.
mmu_notifier will not do such crazy thing.
