-It is important to note that althought VM ioctls may only be issued from
-the process that created the VM, a VM's lifecycle is associated with its
-file descriptor, not its creator (process).  In other words, the VM and
-its resources, *including the associated address space*, are not freed
-until the last reference to the VM's file descriptor has been released.
-For example, if fork() is issued after ioctl(KVM_CREATE_VM), the VM will
-not be freed until both the parent (original) process and its child have
-put their references to the VM's file descriptor.
-
-Because a VM's resources are not freed until the last reference to its
-file descriptor is released, creating additional references to a VM via
-via fork(), dup(), etc... without careful consideration is strongly
-discouraged and may have unwanted side effects, e.g. memory allocated
-by and on behalf of the VM's process may not be freed/unaccounted when
