Yes, the KVM_MEM_READONLY flag can not be directly changed, see
the commit 75d61fbcf563373696578570e914f555e12c8d97 on kvm tree.
Do you think the way which deletes the memslot before changing
the KVM_MEM_READONLY hurts the performance? If yes, i will
make it be directly changed.
Thanks for you implementing the READONLY memory in Qemu.
