Can you opportunistically have this pre-check gpc->memslot?  __kvm_gpc_refresh()
should nullify gpc->memslot when using an hva.  That way, you don't need to
explicitly check for the "invalid gfn" case here (or you could, but WARN_ON_ONCE()
if the memslot is non-NULL and the gfn is invalid?).

Ok, sure.
