I think we need something a bit more specific.
On creation of a protected guest the top most level of page tables are
marked by the Ultravisor and can only be used as top level page tables
for the protected guest that was created. If another protected guest
would re-use those pages for its top level page tables the UV would
throw errors.
When a destroy fails the UV will not remove the markings so these pages
are basically unusable since we can't guarantee that they won't be used
for a guest ASCE in the future.
Hence we choose to leak those pages in the very unlikely event that a
destroy fails.
