[patch 4/4] KVM: x86: disallow changing a slots size

[mtosatti@redhat.com]

[-- Attachment #1: disallow-alias-size-change --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1063 bytes --]

Support to shrinking aliases complicates kernel code unnecessarily,
while userspace can do the same with two operations, delete an alias,
and create a new alias.
