Let me suggest simplifying the commit message a bit. It
doesn't need to describe every line of the code change. I think
it should also make clear that the same problem could occur on
64-bit systems with the right "start" address. My suggestion:

When the 'start' parameter is >= 0xFF000000 on 32-bit
systems, or >= 0xFFFFFFFF'FF000000 on 64-bit systems,
fill_gva_list gets into an infinite loop. With such inputs,
'cur' overflows after adding HV_TLB_FLUSH_UNIT and always
compares as less than end. Memory is filled with guest virtual
addresses until the system crashes

Fix this by never incrementing 'cur' to be larger than 'end'.

The "Fixes:" line needs to not wrap. It's exempt from the
"wrap at 75 columns" rule in order to simplify parsing scripts.

The code itself looks good.
