nit: I find 'find_range' a bit odd. We already have found a
range. We're just trying to narrow it down to something that fits in a
single block mapping. How about 'host_stage2_adjust_range'?

This expression does my head in. You are trying to find the largest
block mapping that entirely fits in range, right? Can we just express
that directly (with a global negation for the purpose of the loop)?
do {
[...]
} while (level < KVM_PGTABLE_MAX_LEVELS &&
!(kvm_level_supports_block_mapping(level) &&
start >= range->start &&
end <= range->end));
I personally find this much more readable, because it expresses the
condition we are looking for rather than a lot of conditions forcing
us to continue.
You could also use a kvm_mem_range for the iteration, and add a helper
that checks for the inclusion.

Thanks,
