Sure, let me try optimizing with this newly added macro.

I understand your concern and will address it. BTW, this is called for a small 
fragment of VM memory( <10MB), that needs to be pinned before the guest execution 
starts.

I saw one use of kvm_for_each_memslot_in_gfn_range() in __kvm_zap_rmaps(), and 
that too calls slot_handle_level_range() which has a for_each_slot_rmap_range().
How would that be O(n) ?

kvm_for_each_memslot_in_gfn_range() {
	...
	slot_handle_level_range()
	...
}

slot_handle_level_range() {
	...
	for_each_slot_rmap_range() {
		...
	}
	...
}
