By the way, when this code is running, what's the rate of this new
counter? How does it compare to the reduction in instruction emulation?

Isn't the whole structure initialized to 0? I don't think this is
needed.

This looks wrong.

Where is vcpu->arch.pvmem unmapped?

What happens if the guest makes repeated KVM_HCALL_RESERVE_MAGICPAGE
hypercalls? Looks like a good way to leak host memory.

Also, if we migrate a guest which has a page registered, the new host
won't have vcpu->arch.pvmem set because the guest doesn't re-invoke the
KVM_HCALL_RESERVE_MAGICPAGE hypercall.

I think we need to put a little more thought into all the corner cases
here.
