This driver is the only caller of vfio_pin/unpin_pages that might pass in a non-contiguous PFN list, but in many cases it has a contiguous PFN list to process. So letting VFIO API handle a non-contiguous PFN list is actually counterproductive. Add a pair of simple loops to pass in contiguous PFNs only, to have an efficient implementation in VFIO.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
