A fault during a page walk signals a bug in the kernel and is handled by oopsing the kernel. A non-page walk fault could be caused by user space having access to a page which has been delegated to the kernel and will trigger a SIGBUS to allow debugging why user space is trying to access a delegated page. There is work in progress to unmap the guest_memfd backed private pages fro= m the linear map. Until we get that support, we could get spurious GPFs from with= in the kernel, e.g., load_unaligned_zeropad(). So, try to fix them up for now.
