I assume you're talking about doing this instead of using @tmp?

	old = *id_to_memslot(__kvm_memslots(kvm, as_id), id);

It's obviously possible, but I really like resulting diff for
__kvm_set_memory_region() in "KVM: Terminate memslot walks via used_slots"
when tmp is used.

@@ -1104,8 +1203,13 @@ int __kvm_set_memory_region(struct kvm *kvm,
         * when the memslots are re-sorted by update_memslots().
         */
        tmp = id_to_memslot(__kvm_memslots(kvm, as_id), id);
-       old = *tmp;
-       tmp = NULL;
+       if (tmp) {
+               old = *tmp;
+               tmp = NULL;

+               old.id = id;
+       }
