This kind of ties into the discussion of being able to share memory in
place. For pKVM for example, shared and private memory would have the
same backend, and the unmapping wouldn't be needed.

So I guess that, instead of kvm_arch_has_private_mem(), can the check
be done differently, e.g., with a different function, say
kvm_arch_private_notify_attribute_change() (but maybe with a more
friendly name than what I suggested :) )?

Thanks,
