Hm, if !npages we should just kvm_free_physmem_slot(&old, NULL).
Actually, I believe we need a little bit more than that, because we can
have valid rmaps in flight.

Tell me what you think about this.

Why doesn't the kvm_free_physmem_slot() at the end of the normal path work? I don't like adding a new path, for example you missed the iommu call.
