Shouldn't the comment associated to kvm_handle_mmio_return saying
the function "should only be called after returning from userspace for
MMIO load emulation" be updated? Here we did kernel emulation and we
call it. also in vgic it is called. Must aknowledge I do not fully
understand what the .rt is.

what if kvm_io_bus_read returned -EOPNOTSUPP?
