Yeah, I will expand comments.

I agree TLFS doesn't state anything about "fast" extended hypercall
but nothing stops in future for some call to be "fast". I think this
condition should also be handled by userspace as it is handling
everything else.

I will remove it in the next version of the patch. I don't see any
value in verification here.
