"Ultravisor should filter" ? And what if it doesn't (eg. because of a bug) ?

Shouldn't we also check the HV bit of the calling MSR as well to
disambiguate SVM and UV ?

If calling kvmppc_h_svm_page_in() produces a "weird result" when
the MSR_S bit isn't set, then I think it should do the checking
itself, ie. pass vcpu.

This would also prevent adding that many lines in kvmppc_pseries_do_hcall()
which is a big enough function already. The checking could be done in a
helper in book3s_hv_uvmem.c and used by all UV specific hcalls.
