Internal VMs should be the only usage when kvm->mm would be NULL.
However if you'd prefer it otherwise, I'll make sure this condition
will be made clearer.

This is indeed what I was assuming. This RFC does not allow MMIO with
internal VMs. I can not think of a usage when this would be useful. I'd
make sure this would be documented in an eventual later RFC.

Indeed, being able to map device memory is intended. It is needed for
Runtime Services sandboxing. It also relies on the guest being
correctly configured.

Will do.
Thank you very much,
