AFAICT, all the return value stored in rc are int.

Maybe a likely would be good here?

That's may change in the future. A white-list may be better in order to
avoid giving wrong access when a new p2m type is added.

We disallow guest copy from the above 4 types via get_page_from_gva. So
I'm not sure if it's worth to check them here.
