I can't speak for Marc, but I can say that we're interested in something
like this for potentially isolating VMs from a KVM host in Android.
However, we've currently been working on the assumption that the memory
removed from the host won't usually be touched by the host (i.e. no
KSM or swapping out), so all we'd probably want at the moment is to be
able to return an error back from arch_make_page_accessible(). Its return
code is ignored in this patch :/

One thing I don't grok about the ultravisor encryption is how it avoids
replay attacks when paging back in. For example, if the host is compromised
and replaces the page contents with an old encrypted value. Are you storing
per-page metadata somewhere to ensure "freshness" of the encrypted data?
