KVM_XEN_INVALID_GPA absolutely doesn't belong in common code.  Not to mention
that it will break when Paolo (rightly) moves it to an x86 header.

We can use plain INVALID_GPA for that, I think. ISTR the reason we have
a separate KVM_XEN_INVALID_GPA is because that's a userspace API.

...

But!  kvm_is_error_gpa() already exists, and it very, very sneakily
does a memslot lookup and checks for a valid HVA.

Hm, that doesn't sound as fast as simple comparison. We also can't do
it from kvm_gpc_check(), can we?

You snipped the part where I suggested renaming the existing kvm_is_error_gpa().

I am suggesting we do the below (and obviously rename the s390 usage, too), and
then the gpc code can use use kvm_is_error_gpa().

Are you ok with a local kvm_gpc_is_error_gpa() or somesuch until there is agreement with s390?
