Ah! This is the reason why previous patches were not using vaddr_t. It
makes sense now. May I suggest we use something different from paddr_t
in copy_guest for addr type? I don't think is correct to specify addr as
paddr_t when it could be vaddr_t; in the future we could have type
checks on them.

I suggest we specify it as u64, but if you have a better idea go for it.

I don't know if we necessarely care about this, but with this change
this error path goes away. Do we want to keep it?

fair enough, then why not use current?
