drivers/virt does not have a maintainer and this code needs one.

Please make this default m - this code can run as a module and the

This state is singular

... whereas this may be called for multiple instances of the device.
This likely makes no sense, so it is better to reject it here.

Otherwise, the state should be allocated dynamically.

No need to use acpi_os_map_memory() here, plain memremap() should be fine.

memunmap() here

Is this little dance really necessary? I.e., can we just do

add_vmfork_randomness(state.next_id, VMGENID_SIZE)

and be done with it?

And if we cannot, is it ok to just return without some kind of
diagnostic message?
