Problems about Stage-2 translation

Hi all,

I am facing two problems with the Stage-2 translation in KVM. 

(1)
I reserve a memory region (e.g., 0xa000_0000 ~ 0xa020_0000) from DRAM space of HostOS, and fill it with some values. Then ask a GuestVM to access this region.

void __iomem *region=ioremap(0xa0000000, 0x1000);
uint32_t val=ioread32(region);

But I get value 0, which is not the expected value.
I guess the reason is that the Stage-2 translation of the GuestVM does not map the reserved region, but it should return a translation fault, rather than 0. So I feel confused, could you provide some helpful explanation?

(2)
I consider mapping a region with the Stage-2 translation. I find that KVM create the stage-2 table with kvm_alloc_stage2_pgd(). But I could not find a function that can "arbitrarily add a stage-2 mapping to the physical address in HostOS" when the VM is activated. 

Could you provide such functions?
