Pass the "old" slot to kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region() and force arch code to handle propagating arch specific data from "new" to "old" when necessary. This is a baby step towards dynamically allocating "new" from the get go, and is a (very) minor performance boost on x86 due to not unnecessarily copying arch data. For PPC HV, copy the rmap in the !CREATE and !DELETE paths, i.e. for MOVE and FLAGS_ONLY. This is functionally a nop as the previous behavior would overwrite the pointer for CREATE, and eventually discard/ignore it for DELETE. For x86, copy the arch data only for FLAGS_ONLY changes. Unlike PPC HV, x86 needs to reallocate arch data in the MOVE case as the size of x86's allocations depend on the alignment of the memslot's gfn. Opportunistically tweak kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region()'s param order to match the "commit" prototype. Signed-off-by: Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com> Reviewed-by: Maciej S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
