Now that the memslot logic doesn't assume memslots are always non-NULL,
dynamically size the array of memslots instead of unconditionally
allocating memory for the maximum number of memslots.

Note, because a to-be-deleted memslot must first be invalidated, the
array size cannot be immediately reduced when deleting a memslot.
However, consecutive deletions will realize the memory savings, i.e.
a second deletion will trim the entry.

This patch is tested so I believe this works, however normally I need
to do similar thing with [0] otherwise gcc might complaint.  Is there
any trick behind to make this work?  Or is that because of different
gcc versions?

array[] and array[0] have the same net affect, but array[] is given special
treatment by gcc to provide extra sanity checks, e.g. requires the field to
be the end of the struct.  Last I checked, gcc also doesn't allow array[]
in unions.  There are probably other restrictions.

But, it's precisely because of those restrictions that using array[] is
preferred, as it provides extra protections, e.g. if someone moved memslots
to the top of the struct it would fail to compile.

I don't follow, are you saying do "*slots = *old"?

@new_size and @old_size are not guaranteed to be the same.  More
specifically, slots->memslots and old->slots are now flexible arrays with
potentially different sizes.  Doing "*slots = *old" would only copy the
standard members, a memcpy() would still be needed for @memlots.

A more effecient implementation would be:

	slots = kvalloc(new_size, GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT);
	if (likely(slots)) {
		memcpy(slots, old, old_size);
		if (change == KVM_MR_CREATE)
			memset((void *)slots + old_size, 0, new_size - old_size);
	}

to avoid unnecessarily zeroing out the entire thing.  I opted for the
simpler implementation as this is not performance critical code, for most
cases @slots won't be all that large, and I wanted to be absolutely sure
any mixup would hit zeroed memory and not uninitialized memory.

I made a silly mistake on reading "slots" as "old".  Ignore my
comment, sorry!  And please take my R-b for this patch too:

gcc is telling you quite explicitly why it's angry.  Copy+paste from the
internet[*]:

  Flexible Array Member(FAM) is a feature introduced in the C99 standard of the
  C programming language.

  For the structures in C programming language from C99 standard onwards, we
  can declare an array without a dimension and whose size is flexible in nature.

  Such an array inside the structure should preferably be declared as the last 
  member of structure and its size is variable(can be changed be at runtime).
  
  The structure must contain at least one more named member in addition to the
  flexible array member.

Sorry again for not being able to identify the meaning of that
sentence myself.  My English is probably even worse than I thought...

So I think my r-b keeps.
