Sure, but that's what QEMU does, and a different userspace could well do
something different. It looks to me that I should be able to start (or
even restore) a guest, and snapshot it immediately. Here, I'm pretty
sure this wouldn't do the right thing (I have the suspicion that the
doorbells are not allocated, and that we'll end-up with an Oops at unmap
time, though I haven't investigated it to be sure).

Sure, but why the checks and the return value then? I'd rather you check 
all
the relevant conditions in one place.

I guess a sensible place to do that would be at deactivation time.
I came up with the following hack, completely untested.

If that works for you, I'll turn it into a proper patch that you
can carry with the series (I may turn it into a __inval_dcache_area
call if I can find the equivalent 32bit).

Thanks,
