Subject: [PATCH v4 00/19] KVM: Dynamically size memslot arrays

The end goal of this series is to dynamically size the memslot array so
that KVM allocates memory based on the number of memslots in use, as
opposed to unconditionally allocating memory for the maximum number of
memslots.  On x86, each memslot consumes 88 bytes, and so with 2 address
spaces of 512 memslots, each VM consumes ~90k bytes for the memslots.
E.g. given a VM that uses a total of 30 memslots, dynamic sizing reduces
the memory footprint from 90k to ~2.6k bytes.

The changes required to support dynamic sizing are relatively small,
e.g. are essentially contained in patches 17/19 and 18/19.

Patches 2-16 clean up the memslot code, which has gotten quite crusty,
especially __kvm_set_memory_region().  The clean up is likely not strictly
necessary to switch to dynamic sizing, but I didn't have a remotely
reasonable level of confidence in the correctness of the dynamic sizing
without first doing the clean up.

The only functional change in v4 is the addition of an x86-specific bug
fix in x86's handling of KVM_MR_MOVE.  The bug fix is not directly related
to dynamically allocating memslots, but it has subtle and hidden conflicts
with the cleanup patches, and the fix is higher priority than anything
else in the series, i.e. should be merged first.

On non-x86 architectures, v3 and v4 should be functionally equivalent,
the only non-x86 change in v4 is the dropping of a "const" in
kvm_arch_commit_memory_region().

v4:
  - Add patch 01 to fix an x86 rmap/lpage bug, and patches 10 and 11 to
    resolve hidden conflicts with the bug fix.
  - Collect tags [Christian, Marc, Philippe].
  - Rebase to kvm/queue, commit e41a90be9659 ("KVM: x86/mmu: WARN if
    root_hpa is invalid when handling a page fault").
v3:
  - Fix build errors on PPC and MIPS due to missed params during
    refactoring [kbuild test robot].
  - Rename the helpers for update_memslots() and add comments describing
    the new algorithm and how it interacts with searching [Paolo].
  - Remove the unnecessary and obnoxious warning regarding memslots being
    a flexible array [Paolo].
  - Fix typos in the changelog of patch 09/15 [Christoffer].
  - Collect tags [Christoffer].

v2:
  - Split "Drop kvm_arch_create_memslot()" into three patches to move
    minor functional changes to standalone patches [Janosch].
  - Rebase to latest kvm/queue (f0574a1cea5b, "KVM: x86: fix ...")
  - Collect an Acked-by and a Reviewed-by
