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

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

+When:  July 2010
+Why:   Since 2.6.25, kvm supports user-allocated memory slots, which are

+       impact.
