Can we s/kaddr/hva/ since that's the standard nomenclature?

Please return 0/-EINVAL instead.  More important, this optimization is
problematic because:

1) the underlying memslots array could have changed.  You'd also need to
store the generation count (see kvm_read_guest_cached for an example)

2) worse, the memslots array could have switched between the SMM and
non-SMM address spaces.  This is by the way the reason why there is no
kvm_vcpu_read_guest_cached API.

However, all the places you're changing in patches 4-10 are doing
already kvm_vcpu_gpa_to_page, so I suggest just dropping this optimization.

Please change the API to:

static int __kvm_map_gfn(struct kvm_memslot *memslots, gfn_t gfn,
		         struct kvm_host_map *map)

	calling gfn_to_pfn_memslot(memslots, gfn)

int kvm_vcpu_map_gfn(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu gfn_t gfn,
		     struct kvm_host_map *map)

	calling kvm_vcpu_gfn_to_memslot + __kvm_map

void kvm_unmap_gfn(struct kvm_host_map *map)

Should this be is_error_noslot_pfn?

This can clear just map->kaddr (map->hva after the above review).
