Right. And it looks better.

OK.

I think it's not a bug, because for memlsot with VM_PFNMAP, the logging_active is always false.

In kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region(), we make sure KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES can't be set for a VM_PFNMAP memslot.
Then in __kvm_set_memory_region(), we're sure dirty_bitmap is not allocated for this memslot.
Then memslot_is_logging() will return false for this memslot.

Yes, I agree to get rid of force_pte for device. I'm sure your code
doesn't break the bugfix.

Maybe we don't need this. I can add some comments to explain it.

Looks good to me. :)

I will test it. And when I send v4, should I add your Suggested-by or SoB?
