What about pKVM? The walker you wrote for the host stage-2 should be
reusable in that case?

I believe this should be compatible with VHE as well, that option should be
renamed.

This is not robust enough: If 1 VM starts then 65535 others which are killed.
guest_no overflows. The next number is 0 which is already taken.

Linux has and ID allocation to solve this problem, but I don't think this is
necessary anyway. This should simply reuse the struct kvm->debugfs_dentry.

Also probably most of the informations contained in ptdump_registered_guest can
be found in struct kvm. The debugfs should then probably simply take struct kvm
for the private argument.
