Heh, this has come up before[*].  I agree with Paolo that checking for rmaps is
more intuitive than checking for !TDP MMU.  I'm not sure I agree about dropping
the check entirely though, it just seems like we'll end up back here again, i.e.
someone will inevitably propose optimizing the case where KVM has already allocated
rmaps and gfn_track.
