That would be tricky because there are multiple paths (gfn_to_page, gfn_to_pfn, etc.). There is some complication in this because the new device has to be plumbed at multiple levels (KVM, QEMU, libvirt). But it seems like a very easily separated piece of code (except for the KVMI socket part, which can be added later), so I suggest that you contribute the KVM parts first....
