Yes, this is a plausible fix (with a comment explaining that we are
taking a shortcut). Perhaps a better check would be

r = kvm_read_guest_virt(vcpu, gva, vmpointer, sizeof(*vmpointer), &e);
if (r != X86EMUL_CONTINUE) {
if (r == X86EMUL_PROPAGATE_FAULT) {
kvm_inject_emulated_page_fault(vcpu, &e);
} else {
/* ... */
kvm_inject_gp(vcpu, 0);
}
return 1;
}

Are you going to send a patch?
