Disallow moving memslots if the VM has external page-track users, i.e. if
KVMGT is being used to expose a virtual GPU to the guest, as KVMGT doesn't
correctly handle moving memory regions.
Note, this is potential ABI breakage! E.g. userspace could move regions
that aren't shadowed by KVMGT without harming the guest. However, the
only known user of KVMGT is QEMU, and QEMU doesn't move generic memory
regions. KVM's own support for moving memory regions was also broken for
multiple years (albeit for an edge case, but arguably moving RAM is
itself an edge case), e.g. see commit edd4fa37ba ("KVM: x86: Allocate
new rmap and large page tracking when moving memslot").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
