I don't love that the caller has to re-check for user_exit_on_hypercall(). I
also don't love that there's a surprising number of checks lurking in
__kvm_emulate_hypercall(), e.g. that CPL==0, especially since the above comment
about "a valid KVM hypercall" can be intrepreted as meaning KVM is *only* checking
if the hypercall number is valid.
E.g. my initial reaction was that we could add a separate path for userspace
hypercalls, but that would be subtly wrong. And my second reaction was to hoist
the common checks out of __kvm_emulate_hypercall(), but then I remembered that
the only reason __kvm_emulate_hypercall() is separate is to allow it to be called
by TDX with different source/destionation registers.
So, I'm strongly leaning towards dropping the above change, squashing the addition
of the helper with patch 2, and then landing this on top.
Thoughts?

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Use '0' in __kvm_emulate_hypercall() to signal
"exit to userspace"
Rework __kvm_emulate_hypercall() to use '0' to indicate an exit to
userspace instead of relying on the caller to manually check for success
*and* if user_exit_on_hypercall() is true. Use '1' for "success" to
(mostly) align with KVM's de factor return codes, where '0' == exit to
userspace, '1' == resume guest, and -errno == failure. Unfortunately,
some of the PV error codes returned to the guest are postive values, so
the pattern doesn't exactly match KVM's "standard", but it should be close
enough to be intuitive for KVM readers.
