-The flags field supports two flags: KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES and
-KVM_MEM_READONLY.  The former can be set to instruct KVM to keep track of
-writes to memory within the slot.  See KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl to know how to

-to make a new slot read-only.  In this case, writes to this memory will be

 When the KVM_CAP_SYNC_MMU capability is available, changes in the backing of
 the memory region are automatically reflected into the guest.  For example, an
