Zapping collapsible sptes, a.k.a. 4k sptes that can be promoted into a
large page, is only necessary when changing only the dirty logging flag
of a memory region. If the memslot is also being moved, then all sptes
for the memslot are zapped when it is invalidated. When a memslot is
being created, it is impossible for there to be existing dirty mappings,
e.g. KVM can have MMIO sptes, but not present, and thus dirty, sptes.
Note, the comment and logic are shamelessly borrowed from MIPS's version
of kvm_arch_commit_memory_region().

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.
