The implementation of map_range() creates the requested mapping by
walking the page tables, iterating over multiple PTEs and/or descending
into existing table mappings as needed. When doing so, it assumes any
pre-existing valid PTE to be a table mapping. This assumption is wrong
if the platform code attempts to successively map two overlapping ranges
where the latter intersects a block mapping created for the former.
As a result, map_range() treats the existing block mapping as a table
mapping and descends into it i.e. starts interpreting the
previously-mapped range as an array of PTEs, writing to them and
potentially even descending further (extra fun with MMIO ranges!).
Instead, pass any valid non-table mapping to split_block(), which
ensures that it actually was a block mapping (calls panic() otherwise)
before splitting it.
