Since install_ept_entry automatically splits large EPTEs, it's no longer necessary to explicitly pave the EPT identity map with 4K entries mapping [base_addr1, base_addr1 + PAGE_SIZE_2M). I.e., install_ept(data_page1, data_page2) does the paving before installing the 4k data_page1 -> data_page2 mapping. The other setup_ept_range call was unnecessary. Note that there was benign bug in the deleted code. The third argument of setup_ept_range is length not end! Thus the range of GPA mappings being split was [base_addr1, base_addr1 * 2 + PAGE_SIZE_2M).
