What this function does is to disable large page support for this slot
as can be seen in the comment below.

Since setting lpage_info to something ("disallowed" ?) is an implementation
detail, we'd better hide such a thing from the function name.

Taking into account that we have "kvm_largepages_enabled()", something like
disable_largepages_memslot() may be a candidate.

But I want to see suggestions from others as well.
