I don't like the guest influencing host actions in this way. It's just a guest.

But I think it's unneeded. kvm_mmu_zap_page() will mark a root shadow page invalid and force all vcpus to reload it, so all that's needed is to keep the mmu spinlock held while removing the slot.
You're still keeping a shadowed page around with sp->gfn pointing to
non-existant memslot. The code generally makes the assumption that
gfn_to_memslot(gfn) on shadowed info will not fail.

kvm_mmu_zap_page -> unaccount_shadowed, for example.

The page has already been zapped, so we might as well unaccount_shadowed() on the first run. It needs to be moved until after the reload_remote_mmus() call, though.

Oops, previous patch was unaccounting multiple times for invalid pages.
This should be better:

During RH6.2 graphical installation the following oops is triggered:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000
 IP: [<ffffffffa00bf172>] :kvm:gfn_to_rmap+0x3e/0x61
 Pid: 4559, comm: qemu-system-x86 Not tainted
The problem is that KVM allows shadow pagetable entries that
point to a removed memslot to exist. In this case the cirrus vram
mapping was removed, and the NULL dereference happened during
kvm_set_memory_alias()'s zap_all_pages().

So nuke all shadowed pages before memslot removal.

This (and its friends) ought to be static inlines.

On the other hand, don't the other arches have to flush their tlbs? Xiantao/Hollis? So maybe this function needs to be renamed kvm_flush_shadow() and implemented across the board.

Destructors should never fail, since there is no possible recovery. And indeed you have 'return 0' in the actual implementation. So I think the function better return void.
