My understanding is that we can't, but Sunil can maybe correct me.

And we don't care here, if it fails, we would rather it panic or oops.
I was relying on the fact that copying from / to a NULL pointer will
cause the kernel to crash. But of course it wouldn't hurt to explicitly
panic here.

Because the hypercall page has already been set up when Linux is the
root.
I could've tried writing to the MSR again, but because the behaviour
here is not documented and subject to change so I didn't bother trying.
