Pierre, unless there is some magic, I think we need to free the gisa stuff before kvm exit.

Imagine a malicious userspace that setups everything fine, but then closes all kvm file 
descriptors but not the vfio file descriptor. This might result in random access to the
memory that contained the gisa potentially resulting in random memory overwrites.

the problem is that kvm_destroy_vm calls kvm_arch_destroy_vm(kvm) before it calls
kvm_destroy_devices(kvm); So we already free the gisa before we do the unregister call.

What about calling kvm_get_kvm/put from some of the callbacks in the right places.

Debugging random memory overwrites is a PITA, so we either should document why I cannot
happen (even with malicious userspace) or simply fix the refcounting.
