Subject: [RFC PATCH 08/67] KVM: x86/mmu: Zap only leaf SPTEs for deleted/moved memslot by default

From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@...el.com>

Zap only leaf SPTEs when deleting/moving a memslot by default, and add a
module param to allow reverting to the old behavior of zapping all SPTEs
at all levels and memslots when any memslot is updated.
