[PATCH kernel v4 0/2] KVM: PPC: Check if IOMMU page is contained in the pinned physical page

This is to improve page boundaries checking and should probably
be cc:stable. I came accross this while debugging nvlink2 passthrough
but the lack of checking might be exploited by the existing userspace.

Changes:
v4:
* 2/2: implemented less strict but still safe max pageshift as David suggested

v3:
* enforced huge pages not to cross preregistered chunk boundaries

v2:
* 2/2: explicitly check for compound pages before calling compound_order()


This is based on sha1
021c917 Linus Torvalds "Linux 4.18-rc3".

Please comment. Thanks.
