IIUC, hijacking bmap() is a gigantic hack to propagate a host pfn to userspace
without adding a new ioctl() or syscall.  If we want to support target injection,
I would much, much rather add a KVM ioctl(), e.g. to let userspace inject errors
for a gfn.  Returning a pfn for something that AFAICT has nothing to do with pfns
is gross, e.g. the whole "0 is the error code" thing is technically wrong because
'0' is a perfectly valid pfn.

My vote is to drop this and not extend the injection information for the initial
merge, i.e. rely on point testing to verify kvm_gmem_error_page(), and defer adding
uAPI to let selftests inject errors.
