It falls back to shared case to hit KVM_PFN_NOSLOT. It will be handled as
MMIO.

Anyway I found it breaks SW_PROTECTED case.  So I came up with the following.
I think we'd like to handle as
  - SW_PROTECTED => KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT
  - SNP, TDX => MMIO.
  


-       if (fault->is_private != kvm_mem_is_private(vcpu->kvm, fault->gfn)) {
+       /*
+        * !fault->slot means MMIO for SNP and TDX.  Don't require explicit GPA
+        * conversion for MMIO because MMIO is assigned at the boot time.  Fall
+        * to !is_private case to get pfn = KVM_PFN_NOSLOT.
+        */
+       force_mmio = !slot &&
+               vcpu->kvm->arch.vm_type != KVM_X86_DEFAULT_VM &&
+               vcpu->kvm->arch.vm_type != KVM_X86_SW_PROTECTED_VM;
+       if (!force_mmio &&
+           fault->is_private != kvm_mem_is_private(vcpu->kvm, fault->gfn)) {
                kvm_mmu_prepare_memory_fault_exit(vcpu, fault);
                return -EFAULT;
        }
 
-       if (fault->is_private)
+       if (!force_mmio && fault->is_private)
                return kvm_faultin_pfn_private(vcpu, fault);
