Finish "emulation" of KVM hypercalls by function callback, even when the hypercall is handled entirely within KVM, i.e. doesn't require an exit to userspace, and refactor __kvm_emulate_hypercall()'s return value to *only* communicate whether or not KVM should exit to userspace or resume the guest. (Ab)Use vcpu->run->hypercall.ret to propagate the return value to the callback, purely to avoid having to add a trampoline for every completion callback. Using the function return value for KVM's control flow eliminates the multiplexed return value, where '0' for KVM_HC_MAP_GPA_RANGE (and only that hypercall) means "exit to userspace". Note, the unnecessary extra indirect call and thus potential retpoline will be eliminated in the near future by converting the intermediate layer to a macro.

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.
