Check whether a KVM hypercall needs to exit to userspace or not based on
hypercall_exit_enabled field of struct kvm_arch.

Userspace can request a hypercall to exit to userspace for handling by
enable KVM_CAP_EXIT_HYPERCALL and the enabled hypercall will be set in
hypercall_exit_enabled.  Make the check code generic based on it.

I would rather have "hypercall" in the name, "hc" never jumps out to me as being
"hypercall". Maybe is_hypercall_exit_enabled(), user_exit_on_hypercall(), or just
exit_on_hypercall()?

I'd probably vote for user_exit_on_hypercall(), as that clarifies it's all about
exiting to userspace, not from the guest.
user_exit_on_hypercall() looks good to me.
Thanks!

Is this to detect potential bug? Maybe
BUILD_BUG_ON(__builtin_constant_p(hc_nr) &&
               !(BIT(hc_nr) & KVM_EXIT_HYPERCALL_VALID_MASK));
Overkill?
I don't think this is the correct way to use __builtin_constant_p(), i.e. it
doesn't make sense to use __builtin_constant_p() in BUILD_BUG_ON().
KVM does use __builtin_constant_p() to effectively disable some assertions when
it's allowed (by KVM's arbitrary rules) to pass in a non-constant value.  E.g.
see all the vmcs_checkNN() helpers.  If we didn't waive the assertion for values
that aren't constant at compile-time, all of the segmentation code would need to
be unwound into switch statements.

But for things like guest_cpuid_has(), the rule is that the input must be a
compile-time constant.

IIUC you need some build time guarantee here, but __builtin_constant_p() can
return false, in which case the above BUILD_BUG_ON() does nothing, which
defeats the purpose.
It depends on what we'd like to detect.  BUILT_BUG_ON(__builtin_constant_p())
can detect the usage in the patch 2/2,
is_kvm_hc_exit_enabled(vcpu->kvm, KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE).  The potential
future use of is_kvm_hc_exit_enabled(, KVM_HC_MAP_future_hypercall).

Although this version doesn't help for the one in kvm_emulate_hypercall(),
!ret check is done first to avoid WARN_ON_ONCE() to hit here.

Maybe we can just drop this WARN_ON_ONCE().
Yeah, I think it makes sense to drop the WARN, otherwise I suspect we'll end up
dancing around the helper just to avoid the warning.

I'm 50/50 on the BUILD_BUG_ON().  One one hand, it's kinda overkill.  On the other
hand, it's zero generated code.

Will remove the WARN_ON_ONCE().
