I think this is the right place to ensure right value is passed. Right 
now, vcpu_run->mmio.len is user accessible and easily provides ability 
for buffer overrun if unchecked. I'm now preserving the length Gunyah 
requested in internal vcpu structure. Userspace can write whatever they 
want to the mmio request, but it won't change the number of bytes that 
we copy from user.

Per Srini and Alex, we can trust the values hypervisor sends, so I 
think we can skip this check.
