Might as well assign lpages at its declaration, i.e.

		int lpages = gfn_to_index(slot->base_gfn + npages - 1,
					  slot->base_gfn, level) + 1;

Eh, I don't think avoiding a 3 char overrun is worth splitting across three lines.
E.g. this is perfectly readable

		slot->arch.rmap[i] = kvcalloc(lpages, sizeof(*slot->arch.rmap[i]),
					      GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT);

Alternatively, the rmap size could be captured in a local var, e.g.

	const int sz = sizeof(*slot->arch.rmap[0]);

	...

		slot->arch.rmap[i] = kvcalloc(lpages, sz, GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT);
		if (!slot->arch.rmap[i]) {
			memslot_rmap_free(slot);
			return -ENOMEM;
		}

Reaaaally getting into nitpicks, what do you think about changing this to a goto
with the error handling at the bottom?  Obviously not necessary by any means,
but for me it makes it easier to see that all rmaps are freed on failure.  My
eyes skipped over that on the first read through.  E.g.

		if (!slot_arch.rmap[i])
			goto err;
	}

	return 0;

err:
	memslot_rmap_free(slot);
	return -ENOMEM;

Personal preference, for short declarations like this I like putting 'em on a
single line.
