This new KVM exit allows userspace to handle memory-related errors. It
indicates an error happens in KVM at guest memory range [gpa, gpa+size).
The flags includes additional information for userspace to handle the
error. Currently bit 0 is defined as 'private memory' where '1'
indicates error happens due to private memory access and '0' indicates
error happens due to shared memory access.

When private memory is enabled, this new exit will be used for KVM to
exit to userspace for shared <-> private memory conversion in memory
encryption usage. In such usage, typically there are two kind of memory
conversions:
  - explicit conversion: happens when guest explicitly calls into KVM
    to map a range (as private or shared), KVM then exits to userspace
    to perform the map/unmap operations.
  - implicit conversion: happens in KVM page fault handler where KVM
    exits to userspace for an implicit conversion when the page is in a
    different state than requested (private or shared).

Now it's bit 3:

#define KVM_MEMORY_EXIT_FLAG_PRIVATE (1ULL << 3)

I remember some other attributes were introduced in v10 yet:

#define KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_READ              (1ULL << 0)
#define KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_WRITE             (1ULL << 1)
#define KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_EXECUTE           (1ULL << 2)
#define KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE           (1ULL << 3)

So KVM_MEMORY_EXIT_FLAG_PRIVATE changed to bit 3 due to above things,
or other reason ? (Sorry I didn't follow v10 too much before).

Yeah, I need to update (or write) a lot of changelogs.

Yep, I want to reserve space for the RWX bits.
