Subject: [PATCH 01/10] KVM: State whether memory should be freed in kvm_free_memslot

The conditions upon which kvm_free_memslot are kind of ad-hock,
it will be hard to extend memslot with allocatable data that needs to be
freed, so I replaced the current mechanism by clear flag that states if
the memory slot should be freed.
