* [PATCH v2 03/10] KVM: x86: Unmap VMAs for KVM-internal memslots when the memslot is freed
* [PATCH v2 04/10] KVM: Disallow setting memslots when the VM is being destroyed
* [PATCH v2 05/10] KVM: Destroy memslots immediately after mmu_notifiers are unregistered
* [PATCH v2 06/10] KVM: WARN if KVM attempts to do guest-related uaccess with "wrong" process
* [PATCH v2 07/10] KVM: WARN and reject guest-based uaccess if VM is dying
* [PATCH v2 08/10] KVM: nVMX: Don't flush shadow VMCS12 to guest memory during vCPU teardown
* [PATCH v2 09/10] KVM: nVMX: Don't try to load eVMCS12 page when the VM is dying
* [PATCH v2 10/10] KVM: Pre-check uaccesses in KVM's APIs to read/write guest memory
