(Have you found out why EPT+unrestricted didn't use the alternative SMM
 mapping as well?)

vm_mmap() leaks if __kvm_set_memory_region() fails.  It's nothing new
and following process termination should take care of it,

This seems better written as

   	slot = id_to_memslot(slots, id);

(Made me remember that I want to refactor the memslot API ...)

(Assignment could be in the 'else' == !size branch, GCC would have fun.)
