Well.. maybe. The increased difficulty in verifying that the code is
correct isn't always a good price to pay.

This comment confuses me. Looking closer at the code I see you're
right, and it's initialized to NULL where defined, which I missed.
But that has nothing to do with being returned by pointer from
kvmppc_gpa_to_ua(), since one of your branches in the new code no
longer passes &rmap to that function.
