Here is a patch which implements (2) above.

kvm: Hold reference to the user address space

The core KVM code, uses mmgrab/mmdrop to pin the mm struct of the user
application. mmgrab only guarantees that the mm struct is available,
while the "real address space" (see Documentation/vm/active_mm.txt) may
be destroyed. Since the KVM depends on the user space page tables for
the Guest pages, we should instead do an mmget/mmput. Even though
mmget/mmput is not encouraged for uses with unbounded time, the KVM
is fine to do so, as we are doing it from the context of the same process.

This also prevents the race condition where mmu_notifier_release() could
be called in parallel and one instance could end up using a free'd kvm
instance.
