This should capture the original motivation, i.e. that the existing
->track_flush_slot() hook is theoretically flawed.  I think it also makes sense
to call out that KVMGT undoubtedly does the wrong thing if a memslot is moved,
but that (a) KVMGT has never supported moving memslots and (b) there's no sane
use case for moving memslots that might be used by the guest for the GTT.

Bonus points if you can figure out a way to capture the restriction in the docs,
e.g. somewhere in gpu/i915.rst?

Lastly, provide a link to the original discussion which provides even more context.
