With the addition of pfnmap support in vmf_insert_pfn_{pmd,pud}() we can
take advantage of PMD and PUD faults to PCI BAR mmaps and create more
efficient mappings. PCI BARs are always a power of two and will typically
get at least PMD alignment without userspace even trying. Userspace
alignment for PUD mappings is also not too difficult.
Consolidate faults through a single handler with a new wrapper for
standard single page faults. The pre-faulting behavior of commit
d71a989cf5d9 ("vfio/pci: Insert full vma on mmap'd MMIO fault") is removed
in this refactoring since huge_fault will cover the bulk of the faults and
results in more efficient page table usage. We also want to avoid that
pre-faulted single page mappings preempt huge page mappings.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
