These patches are to fix a bug when pages stay pinned hours
after QEMU which requested pinning exited.

Please comment. Thanks.

Alex, given the diffstat how do you want to merge this? (for 4.10)

Should I merge it, you merge it, or I can put it in a topic branch?

I have an outstanding question on one patch, but otherwise I'd prefer
you merge it, I'm not expecting to have anything that would conflict
with vfio_iommu_spapr_tce.c and this code is tied pretty tightly with
arch code.  I'll provide acks depending on how we resolve my question.
Thanks,

Alex
