It will be good to know and send guest virtual address as well. While
sending SIGBUS to guest user space, information about which access
triggered SIGBUS will be useful.

I thought GUEST_LINEAR_ADDRESS provides guest virtual address if
EPT_VIOLATION_GLA_VALID bit is set. And it seems to work for my
simple test case. But when I try to read intel SDM, section "27.2" VM
exits, EPT violations, I am not so sure.

Somebody who understands this better, can you please help me understand
what exactly GUEST_LINEAR_ADDRESS is supposed to contain during
EPT violation. I assumed it is guest virtual address and added a
patch in my RFC patch series.

But I might have misunderstood it.
