+KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT indicates the vCPU has encountered a memory fault that
+could not be resolved by KVM. The 'gpa' and 'size' (in bytes) describe the
+guest physical address range [gpa, gpa + size) of the fault. The 'flags' field
+describes properties of the faulting access that are likely pertinent.
+Currently, no flags are defined.
+
+Note! KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT is unique among all KVM exit reasons in that it
+accompanies a return code of '-1', not '0'! errno will always be set to EFAULT
+or EHWPOISON when KVM exits with KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT, userspace should assume
+kvm_run.exit_reason is stale/undefined for all other error numbers.

+7.34 KVM_CAP_MEMORY_FAULT_INFO
+------------------------------
+
+:Architectures: x86
+:Returns: Informational only, -EINVAL on direct KVM_ENABLE_CAP.
+
+The presence of this capability indicates that KVM_RUN will fill
+kvm_run.memory_fault if KVM cannot resolve a guest page fault VM-Exit, e.g. if
+there is a valid memslot but no backing VMA for the corresponding host virtual
+address.
+
+The information in kvm_run.memory_fault is valid if and only if KVM_RUN returns
+an error with errno=EFAULT or errno=EHWPOISON *and* kvm_run.exit_reason is set
+to KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT.
+
+Note: Userspaces which attempt to resolve memory faults so that they can retry
+KVM_RUN are encouraged to guard against repeatedly receiving the same
+error/annotated fault.
+
+See KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT for more information.
