I tested this series by running kvm-unit-tests on an Intel Skylake
machine. It did not introduce any new failures. I also ran the
set_memory_region_test

It's "memslot_move_test" that is crashing the kernel - a memslot
move test based on "set_memory_region_test".

I apologize if I'm being very dense, but I can't find this test
anywhere.

No problem, the reproducer is available here:
https://gist.github.com/maciejsszmigiero/890218151c242d99f63ea0825334c6c0
as I stated in my original report.

Is this something you have in-house but haven't upstreamed
or just the test_move_memory_region(); testcase from
set_memory_region_test? I have a similar memslot-moving-stress-test in
the pipeline I need to send out, but I didn't think such a test
existed yet and my test hadn't caught this issue.

The reproducer at that GitHub link is taken from my KVM memslot
test mini-set, itself based on set_memory_region_test.c from
KVM selftests.
The full mini-set will be posted as soon as I finish it :)

Thanks,
Maciej
