That because there could be multiple mdev devices from different vendor
driver in a domain, and pin request for a page can come from multiple
vendor driver for same page and in pin/unpin page interface we don't
keep track of who had pinned pages. So its vendor driver's
responsibility to unpin pages which he had pinned.

That's right.

Don't know what the reserve mapping is, vendor should know the pfn that
he has previously pinned to call the unpin anyway so there is no need to
duplicate the logic here.
