I would think the critical section is small enough that a spinlock makes
sense, but what I don't think we need is to add the additional lock.
I think just taking the kvm->lock should be sufficient, which happens to
be a mutex, and while that may be a bit slower to take than the
spinlock, it's not in the critical path so let's just keep things
simple.
Perhaps this what Marc also meant.

I agree with the other two comments as well.
Otherwise looks ok.
