Ewww, the existing code is awful.  This call passes NULL for @slot, but it already
has a slot!  This could simply be

		pte_list_destroy(vcpu->kvm, rmap_head);

but that's undesirable with the current name as it's not remotely obvious that
pte_list_destroy() actually zaps rmaps.

I'll send a separate series to clean this up, e.g. rename pte_list_destroy() to
make it clear that it zaps SPTEs.  That'll also give me a good excuse to kill the
"p is for pointer" rmapp() naming scheme.  The only conflict with your series is
this one vcpu->kvm => kvm change, which is easy to note and resolve.

I prefer to grab "cache" locally,

	struct kvm_mmu_memory_cache *cache = &vcpu->arch.mmu_pte_list_desc_cache;

	__rmap_add(vcpu->kvm, cache, slot, spte, gfn);

both to keep the lines shorter in the final form (adding "access" runs yours out
to 93 chars), and because I find it easier to see read the call without a gigantic
parameter in the midde.
