More generally, there doesn't really seem to be provision in the KVM KVM_EXIT_MMIO API for returning "this access failed". I guess in theory userspace could do all the "figure out how to adjust CPU state to do exception entry and then run VCPU", but that seems like quite a lot of work which the kernel already knows how to do; is there some way to provide a simpler API that lets userspace just inform the kernel that it needs to fault the access?
There are 3 free padding bytes in struct kvm_run's mmio field. It's possible to add a per-VM capability and have the kernel check one of these bytes when the capability is set.
