For large page mappings to be easily usable (i.e. in particular without

then also be more efficient, pass batches of Dom0 memory to iommu_map().
In dom0_construct_pv() and its helpers (covering strict mode) this
additionally requires establishing the type of those pages (albeit with
zero type references).
The earlier establishing of PGT_writable_page | PGT_validated requires
the existing places where this gets done (through get_page_and_type())
to be updated: For pages which actually have a mapping, the type
refcount needs to be 1.
There is actually a related bug that gets fixed here as a side effect:
Typically the last L1 table would get marked as such only after
get_page_and_type(..., PGT_writable_page). While this is fine as far as
refcounting goes, the page did remain mapped in the IOMMU in this case
(when "iommu=dom0-strict").
