Explicit disallow activating a gfn_to_pfn_cache with an error gpa, i.e. INVALID_GPA, to ensure that KVM doesn't mistake a GPA-based cache for an HVA-based cache (KVM uses INVALID_GPA as a magic value to differentiate between GPA-based and HVA-based caches). WARN if KVM attempts to activate a cache with INVALID_GPA, purely so that new caches need to at least consider what to do with a "bad" GPA, as all existing usage of kvm_gpc_activate() guarantees gpa != INVALID_GPA. I.e. removing the WARN in the future is completely reasonable if doing so would yield cleaner/better code overall.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
