I can use valid though. To me, the provision is the act of establishing something, but once it's provisioned it just is, and then it isn't anymore. So your sentence "...not provisioned anymore" tells me that there was a process where someone was constantly establishing new data sructures in guest ram, and the process stops. But what I think you want to say is that there were data structures in place, but when the bit gets cleared, those data structures are no longer used, i.e. they are no longer valid. This is really just a wording thing, and I'm not a native English speaker, but looking up provisioning in the dictionary seems to support my claim here. Thanks, -Christoffer
