Currently, the check in get_page_from_gfn is using a blacklist. This is
very fragile because we may forgot to update the check when a new p2m
type is added.

To avoid any possible issue, use a whitelist. All type backed by a RAM
page can could potential be valid. The check is borrowed from x86.

What about the iommu mappings?

iommu mappings (p2m_iommu_map_*) are special mappings for the direct mapping
workaround. They should not be used in get_page_from_gfn.

Make sense. I think they deserve to be mentioned in the commit message,
as this patch changes behavior for them.

Good point. I will update the commit message.
