How many call sites are we talking about?

I think handling KVM_BUG_ON() in macro should be able to eliminate bunch of
individual KVM_BUG_ON()s in these call sites?

This doesn't make sense to me.

Firstly, you have to *prove* the loop generates worse code.

Secondly, if it does generate worse code, and we care about it, we should fix it
in the host seamcall() code.  No?
