I asusme the "issue" is that KVM uses mmu notifier and does a simple
get_user_pages() to obtain the references, to drop the reference when
the entry is invalidated via a mmu notifier call. So once you intent to
long-term pin, it's already to late.

If you could teach KVM to do a long-term pin when stumbling over these
special encrypted memory regions (requires a proper matching
unpin_user_pages() call from KVM), then you could "take over" that pin
by get_page(), and let KVM do the ordinary put_page(), while you would
do the unpin_user_pages().
