May be we should use
firmware_has_feature(FW_FEATURE_H_COPY_TOFROM_GUEST))?

the nestedv2 can end up using the above hcall if it is supported by the
hypervisor right? In its absence we will have to translate the guest ea
using xlate and then use kvm_guest_read to read location using the guest
real address right? That xlate will also involves multiple kvm_guest_read.
