I'd phrase it a bit differently:

This option controls privilege level required to execute userfaultfd
system call.

Set this to "enabled" to allow userfaultfd system call from unprivileged
users.
Set this to "disabled" to allow userfaultfd system call only for users who
have ptrace capability.
Set this to "kvm" to restrict userfaultfd system call usage to users with
permissions to open "/dev/kvm".
