[PATCH v7 11/14] AMD/IOMMU: replace all-contiguous page tables by superpage mappings

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>]

When a page table ends up with all contiguous entries (including all
identical attributes), it can be replaced by a superpage entry at the
next higher level. The page table itself can then be scheduled for
freeing.

Unlike the freeing of all-empty page tables, this causes quite a bit of
back and forth for PV domains, due to their mapping/unmapping of pages
when they get converted to/from being page tables. It may therefore be
worth considering to delay re-coalescing a little, to avoid doing so
when the superpage would otherwise get split again pretty soon. But I
think this would better be the subject of a separate change anyway.

Of course this could also be helped by more "aware" kernel side
behavior: They could avoid immediately mapping freed page tables
writable again, in anticipation of re-using that same page for another
page table elsewhere.

v4: Re-base over changes earlier in the series.
v3: New.
