[PATCH v5 6/9] KVM: Add a helper function to check if a gpa is in writable memselot

From: Atish Patra <hidden>
Date: 2025-08-29 14:41:15
Also in: kvm, kvm-riscv, linux-riscv, lkml
Subsystem: kernel virtual machine (kvm), the rest · Maintainers: Paolo Bonzini, Linus Torvalds

The arch specific code may need to know if a particular gpa is valid and
writable for the shared memory between the host and the guest. Currently,
there are few places where it is used in RISC-V implementation. Given the
nature of the function it may be used for other architectures.
Hence, a common helper function is added.
