The second KVM_MEM_READONLY should be KVM_MEM_PCI_HOLE. Or just drop the
list here, as they're listed below anyway

I see 2/3's of this text is copy+pasted from above, but how about this

 - KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES: log writes.  Use KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG to retreive
   the log.
 - KVM_MEM_READONLY: exit to userspace with KVM_EXIT_MMIO on writes.  Only
   available when KVM_CAP_READONLY_MEM is present.
 - KVM_MEM_PCI_HOLE: always return 0xff on reads, exit to userspace with
   KVM_EXIT_MMIO on writes.  Only available when KVM_CAP_PCI_HOLE_MEM is
   present.  When setting the memory region 'userspace_addr' must be NULL.
   This flag is mutually exclusive with KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES and with
   KVM_MEM_READONLY.

How about

 if ((change != KVM_MR_FLAGS_ONLY) ||
     (new->flags & (KVM_MEM_READONLY|KVM_MEM_PCI_HOLE)))

Debug code you forgot to remove? I see below you've modified
__gfn_to_hva_many() to return KVM_HVA_ERR_BAD already when
given a PCI hole slot. I think that's the only check we should add.

I didn't really review this patch, as it's touching lots of x86 mm
functions that I didn't want to delve into, but I took a quick look
since I was curious about the feature.

Thanks,
