The two things I dislike about mirror is that (for me) it's not clear whether
"mirror" is the source or the dest, and "mirror" implies that there is ongoing
synchronization.

If there's no kvm pointer, it's much more difficult for someone to do the wrong
thing, and any such shenanigans stick out like a sore thumb in patches, which
makes reviewing future changes easier.

I suspect the migration helper will need to pin memory independent of the real
VM.
But, for me, that's largely orthogonal to initializing regions_list. Leaving a
list uninitialized for no good reason is an unnecessary risk, as any related
bugs are all but guaranteed to crash the host.

Eh, it's not that bad.

Heh, IMO, that ship already sailed. KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP is quite the misnomer
given that most of the commands do way more than fiddle with memory encryption.
At least with this one, the ASID is directly tied to hardware's encryption of
memory.
