In order to improve performance of typical scenarios we can try to insert
the entire vma on fault. This accelerates typical cases, such as when
the MMIO region is DMA mapped by QEMU. The vfio_iommu_type1 driver will
fault in the entire DMA mapped range through fixup_user_fault().
In synthetic testing, this improves the time required to walk a PCI BAR
mapping from userspace by roughly 1/3rd.
This is likely an interim solution until vmf_insert_pfn_{pmd,pud}() gain
support for pfnmaps.

I'm sending this as a follow-on patch to the v2 series[1] because this
is largely a performance optimization, and one that we may want to
revert when we can introduce huge_fault support. In the meantime, I
can't argue with the 1/3rd performance improvement this provides to
reduce the overall impact of the series below. Without objection I'd
therefore target this for v6.10 as well. Thanks,
Alex
