Use kvm_is_gpa_in_memslot() to check the validity of the notification
indicator byte address instead of open coding equivalent logic in the VFIO
AP driver.
Opportunistically use a dedicated wrapper that exists and is exported
expressly for the VFIO AP module. kvm_is_gpa_in_memslot() is generally
unsuitable for use outside of KVM; other drivers typically shouldn't rely
on KVM's memslots, and using the API requires kvm->srcu (or slots_lock) to
be held for the entire duration of the usage, e.g. to avoid TOCTOU bugs.
handle_pqap() is a bit of a special case, as it's explicitly invoked from
KVM with kvm->srcu already held, and the VFIO AP driver is in many ways an
extension of KVM that happens to live in a separate module.
Providing a dedicated API for the VFIO AP driver will allow restricting
the vast majority of generic KVM's exports to KVM submodules (e.g. to x86's
kvm-{amd,intel}.ko vendor mdoules).
No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
