The caller of KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION knows which GFNs are
"available", because it configures that into
kvm_userspace_mem->guest_phys_addr and kvm_userspace_mem->size.
KVM knows which GFNs are "available", because it remembers all memory
regions that were configured.

Why do you want to use the dirty page bitmap in KVM?

The GFN is always available.
If the corresponding bit in dirty log is set, then the GFN was modified
since userspace did the last KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl.

test_bit() from arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h returns bool so there is
something wrong with your test_bit().
In any case, see kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log() for what is needed to
access the dirty log.
