It would be really nice to mention why this needs to be exported to
modules. I assume it's the error injection driver or something that can
be built as a module, but this export was a surprise when I saw it.

It's probably also worth noting that this is a sloooooooow
implementation compared to the core VM code that does something
analogous: pfn_to_page(). It's fine for error handling, but we should
probably have a comment to this effect so that more liberal use doesn't
creep in anywhere.
