KVM: Validate userspace_addr of memslot when registered
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This way, we can avoid checking the user space address many times when
we read the guest memory.

Although we can do the same for write if we check which slots are
writable, we do not care write now: reading the guest memory happens
more often than writing.

[avi: change VERIFY_READ to VERIFY_WRITE]
