So I just told you that the first part is well understood but I must
retract that; after carefully reviewing the whole series, I think one of
us is actually very confused.

I am not afraid to say it can be me, but my understanding is that you're
passing L1 GPAs to the hypercall and instead the spec says it expects L2
GPAs.  (Consider that, because KVM's shadow paging code is shared
between nested EPT and !EPT cases, every time you see gpa/gfn in the
code it is for L1, while nested EPT GPAs are really what the code calls
gva.)

What's going on?
