RMM v2.0 brings the ability to set the RMM's granule size. Check the
feature registers and configure the RMM so that it matches the host's
page size. This means that operations can be done with a granulatity
equal to PAGE_SIZE.

Looking at branch 'topics/rmm-v2.0-poc_2' of RMM implementation, the granule size
is fixed to be 4KB at present. I'm not sure if I have looked into correct RMM
implementation, but 'topics/rmm-v2.0-poc_2' is recommended one in the cover
letter.

Besides, there has checks in the handler of the RMI command to make sure that
struct rmm_config::tracking_region_size to be 1GB, indicated by zero. It maybe
worthy to set it before call to rmi_rmm_config_set().

config.tracking_region_size = 0; /* 1GB */
ret = rmi_rmm_config_set(virt_to_phys(config));
