If we can't rely on the userspace, could we check whether it is allowed
(at the right time) before the unmapping? Maybe have a look at vmapp_count?
Although I think snapshot a VM that has not been started is almost impossible...

Yeah, it seems that the return value is unnecessary, I can change vgic_v4_get_vlpi_state()
to be void. And does the check in one place mean that we check all the relevant
conditions at the beginning of vgic_v3_save_pending_tables (in unmap_all_vpes())
and set a variable maybe called hw_avail?

It looks good to me :-), thanks.
