Why not?  l2 gfns don't have any special meaning that we can
dictate from inside Xen.

This seems like a good idea, but probably should happen for all
entries, not just INVALID_GFN ones -- we shouldn't be returning a PFEC
to the guest that comes from translations outside his control.

How about this:
