They're very, very similar.  At a glance, KVM likely could be moved over to the
common interval tree implementation, but it would require a substantial amount of
work in KVM, and various extensions to the mmu notifiers too.  I definitely wouldn't
be opposed to converging KVM if someone wants to put in the effort, but at the same
time I wouldn't recommend that anyone actually do the work as the ROI is likely
very low.
