And what if this IPA doesn't point to any memslot? I understand that
everything will still work (kvm_put_user()) will handle the mishap,
but it makes it hard for userspace to know that something is wrong.

Is there any problem in mandating that the corresponding memslot
already has been created, and enforcing this check?

Thanks,

	M.
