Yes, these !MMU configs are getting annoying and I don't know of any
demand for vfio in them. I suspect we were ok with !MMU until
11c4cd07ba11 though, that's where we added zap_vma_ptes usage. I
updated the Fixes: tag but I suspect either case would reach the same
set of stable trees. Applied to vfio for-linus branch for v5.13.
Thanks!
