If instead of unified bitmap, i use a bitmap per memslot approach, even
then the svm/sev code will still need to to have knowledge of memslot flags
etc., that information will be required as svm/sev code will be
responsible for syncing the page encryption bitmap to userspace and not
the generic KVM x86 code which gets invoked for the dirty page bitmap sync.

Currently, the architecture hooks need to be aware of
KVM_MR_ADD/KVM_MR_DELETE flags and the resize will only happen
if the highest guest PA that is mapped by a memslot gets modified,
otherwise, typically, there will mainly one resize at the initial guest
launch.
