The first one should be fine, but pretty sure the second two will
mis-fire for PoD: p2m->pod.entry_count won't get updated.  As it is,
it's sort-of misfiring already, since the "freed" memory won't be
reclaimed for the PoD cache.

Which probably means it's time for some serious refactoring to prevent
this sort of error from creeping in.  p2m->pod.entry_count accounting
should probably be moved into p2m_entry_modify(), and
p2m_pod_decrease_reservation() should probably be moved somewhere else
-- perhaps guest_remove_page() or something?  At any rate, a we probably
need to review of the layers and what everyone needs from them, and do
things at the right level.
