I was going to suggest that you take the check you'd added to kvm_gpc_check() and move it down below the ->valid check, and turn it into a BUG_ON() to check that assertion. You *might* get false positives with that though, if the result of kvm_mem_is_private() becomes true before the flush actually *happens*?
