Yes, it certainly is legal, and even useful in fact.
For example there are people running WebAssembly in a KVM sandbox. In
that case you can have multiple KVM instances in a single process.
It seems to me that there is already a perfect way to link an mm to its
users, which is the MMU notifier. Why do you need a separate
proc_ept_idle_operations? You could change ept_idle_read into an MMU
notifier callback, and have core mm/ core combine the output of
mm_idle_read and all the MMU notifiers? Basically, ept_idle_ctrl
becomes an argument to the new MMU notifier callback, or something like
that.
