We have

 - kvm_pre_set_memory_attributes()
 - kvm_arch_pre_set_memory_attributes()
 - kvm_arch_post_set_memory_attributes()

left, do they need to be renamed as well?

then the interesting one is kvm_vm_set_mem_attributes(), which contains 
"vm" already while it means "vm ioctl". Do we need to rename it to
kvm_vm_set_vm_mem_attributes()?
