What if we also save the required information (RIP, GFN, ...) in the
guest along with the APF token so in case of -EFAULT we can just 'crash'
the guest and the required information can easily be obtained from
kdump? This will solve the debugging problem even for TDX/SEV-ES (if
kdump is possible there).
