490What: KVM memory aliases support
491When: July 2010
492Why: Memory aliasing support is used for speeding up guest vga access
493 through the vga windows.

495 Modern userspace no longer uses this feature, so it's just bitrotted
496 code and can be removed with no impact.

511What: KVM kernel-allocated memory slots
512When: July 2010
513Why: Since 2.6.25, kvm supports user-allocated memory slots, which are
514 much more flexible than kernel-allocated slots. All current userspace
515 supports the newer interface and this code can be removed with no
516 impact.
