This is the version that was committed for v4.2-rc4:

commit 3e5d2fdceda172554e681b68c853bf5d08205bbf
Author: Xiao Guangrong <guangrong.xiao@xxxxxxxxx>

    KVM: MTRR: simplify kvm_mtrr_get_guest_memory_type
    
    kvm_mtrr_get_guest_memory_type never returns -1 which is implied
    in the current code since if @type = -1 (means no MTRR contains the
    range), iter.partial_map must be true
    
    Simplify the code to indicate this fact

The WARN_ON() now comes before the type == -1 test and I hit that at
*very* high frequency when trying to test device assignment.  Restoring
the ordering to what Xiao originally proposed resolves the problem.
Thanks,

Alex
