I know I said I don't care about the KVM Xen ABI, but I still think using '0' as
"invalid" is ridiculous.

More importantly, this code needs to check that HVA is a userspace pointer.
Because __kvm_set_memory_region() performs the address checks, KVM assumes any
hva that it gets out of a memslot, i.e. from a gfn, is a safe userspace address.

kvm_is_error_hva() will catch most addresses, but I'm pretty sure there's still
a small window where userspace could use this to write kernel memory.
