This is certainly fine for now, but I guess in the long run (i.e. when
supporting Dom0) this will need changing from BUG_ON() to
integrating the condition with the if().

Yes -- the BUG_ON() was to make sure someone thinks carefully about what the right thing is to do here. I suppose there should have been a fixme here as well, however.

Removing the conditional is both dangerous and unmotivated:
Dangerous because you now assume that the space allocated is
always covering the (larger) native size (this currently happens to
be that way in the only caller, but isn't guaranteed). And
unmotivated because switching just the conditional (as done
throughout the rest of the patch) would have sufficed here.

Indeed, I can't think of why I didn't change it to "!is_pv_vcpu()" here.
