Ah, right. So there was two life-cycle changes:

1- Lazily unmap the mapping and only do it on: a) release b) if the gfn is 
   different. This was done as an optimization (i.e. cache of a single entry). 
   This is the first life-cycle change that Paolo asked me to do seperately and
   suggested to create a PFN cache instead. This has indeed been dropped
   between v1 -> v2 switch.

2- The life-cycle change now is the fact that the kvm_vcpu_map interface does: 
   a) map to a virtual address b) translate a gfn to a pfn.

   The original code was doing the kmap in one location and the gfn_to_page in
   another. Using kvm_vcpu_map means that both kmap+gfn_to_page will be tied 
   together and will not be done seperately. So far no one complained about
   this one so I kept it :D
