Can you elaborate how to crash host kernel from guest user-space? If I
understood correctly it was about crashing host kernel from _host_
user-space.

I think the RMP-fault path in the page-fault handler needs to take the
uaccess exception tables into account before actually causing a panic.
This should solve most of the problems discussed here.

Maybe we also need the previously suggested copy_from/to_guest()
interfaces.
