This patch splits the linear mapping if the hot-unplug range is
smaller than the mapping size. The code detects if the mapping needs
to be split into a smaller size and if so, uses the stop machine
infrastructure to clear the existing mapping and then remap the
remaining range using a smaller page size.
The code will skip any region of the mapping that overlaps with kernel
text and warn about it once. We don't want to remove a mapping where
the kernel text and the LMB we intend to remove overlap in the same
TLB mapping as it may affect the currently executing code.
I've tested these changes under a kvm guest with 2 vcpus, from a split
mapping point of view, some of the caveats mentioned above applied to
the testing I did.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
