What about readonly -> readwrite changes?

Not allowed without first deleting the memslot.  See commit 75d61fbcf563 ("KVM:
set_memory_region: Disallow changing read-only attribute later").  RW->RO is
also not supported.

	if (!old.npages) {
		change = KVM_MR_CREATE;
		new.dirty_bitmap = NULL;
		memset(&new.arch, 0, sizeof(new.arch));
	} else { /* Modify an existing slot. */
		if ((new.userspace_addr != old.userspace_addr) ||
		    (new.npages != old.npages) ||
		    ((new.flags ^ old.flags) & KVM_MEM_READONLY))
			return -EINVAL;


Right you are, thanks. Then the warning would catch this quick. I queued 10 and 11 too, and will reply on 12 now that I looked at it more closely.
