With v10 UPM, we can have zap_private = true always.

With v9 UPM, the callback is triggered both for allocation and punch-hole without
any further argument. With v10 UPM, the callback is triggered only for punching
hole.

Will update the comment.

Will add a comment.

Both. Will update the comment.

Right. Will fix.

MTRR support in cpuid is fixed to 1, PAT in cpuid is native.
MTRR and PAT are supported on shared pages.

Ok, let me check it.
