Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/3] x86: tighten page table owner checking in do_mmu_update()

MMU_MACHPHYS_UPDATE, not manipulating page tables, shouldn't ignore
a bad page table domain being specified.

Also pt_owner can't be NULL when reaching the "out" label, so the
respective check can be dropped.

Yes it can.

Failing

    if ( (pg_owner = get_pg_owner((uint16_t)foreigndom)) == NULL )
    {
        rc = -ESRCH;
        goto out;
    }

around line 3462 will cause pt_owner to be NULL at the out label.
