Hrm, now that a previous patch means we're preserving the low bits of
gpc->uhva surely you don't *need* to mess with the gpc struct?


I'm not messing with it, am I?

If gpc->gpa == KVM_XEN_INVALID_GPA (but gpc->uhva != KVM_ERR_ERR_BAD &&
gpc->active) surely that's enough to signal that gpc->uhva is canonical
and doesn't need to be looked up from the GPA?

And I think that means the 'bool addr_is_gpa' argument can go away from
__kvm_gpc_refresh(); you can set it up in {__,}kvm_gpc_activate*()
instead?

Alas not... __kvm_gpc_refresh() still needs to know *something* has changed, otherwise the khva will be stale.
