Below is early git diff (not a proper cleanup patch), to be sure that this is what we want on PowerPC and take early feedback. Also I run some benchmark to understand the overhead if any. 

Using kvm_is_mmio_pfn(); what the current patch does:											
Real: 0m46.616s + 0m49.517s + 0m49.510s + 0m46.936s + 0m46.889s + 0m46.684s = Avg; 47.692s
User: 0m31.636s + 0m31.816s + 0m31.456s + 0m31.752s + 0m32.028s + 0m31.848s = Avg; 31.756s
Sys:  0m11.596s + 0m11.868s + 0m12.244s + 0m11.672s + 0m11.356s + 0m11.432s = Avg; 11.695s


Using kernel page table search (below changes):
Real: 0m46.431s + 0m50.269s + 0m46.724s + 0m46.645s + 0m46.670s + 0m50.259s = Avg; 47.833s
User: 0m31.568s + 0m31.816s + 0m31.444s + 0m31.808s + 0m31.312s + 0m31.740s = Avg; 31.614s
Sys:  0m11.516s + 0m12.060s + 0m11.872s + 0m11.476s + 0m12.000s + 0m12.152s = Avg; 11.846s
