This line wasn't supposed to go to the upstream patch, was it? :-)

Do you plan to add more flags here? If not, I'd suggest we use a simple
boolean instead of the whole 'flags' structure.

It seems this exit to userspace has double meaning:
1) Please put an overlay page at GPA ... (are we sure we will never need
more than one page?)
2) Do something else depending on the MSR which triggered the write (are
we sure all such exits are going to be triggered by an MSR write?)
and I'm wondering if it would be possible to actually limit
KVM_EXIT_HYPERV_OVERLAY to 'put an overlay page' and do the rest somehow
differently.
In particularly, I think we can still do hypercall page patching
directly from KVM after overlay page setup. With VTL, when the logic is
more complex, do you expect it to be implemented primarily in userspace?

Could you please elaborate on why you think 64 bytes is going to be
enough? (like what structures we'll be passing here for VTL)
