When the flag is set, it means the the userspace wants to do DMA
with the memory and the guest will use an appropriate memory type to
access the memory. The kernel should be prepared to honor the
guest's memory type.

When the KVM_CAP_SYNC_MMU capability is available, changes in the backing of
the memory region are automatically reflected into the guest. For example, an
