[PATCH 087/104] KVM: Simplify memory allocation

Avi Kivity
2007-09-17T08:32:09Z

From: Laurent Vivier <Laurent.Vivier@bull.net>

The mutex->splinlock convertion alllows us to make some code simplifications.
As we can keep the lock longer, we don't have to release it and then
have to check if the environment has not been modified before re-taking it. We
can remove kvm->busy and kvm->memory_config_version.
