My original thought is the same fields might be used for shared memslot
as well in future (e.g. there may be another KVM_MEM_* bit can reuse the
same fields for shared slot) so non private-specific name may sound
better. But definitely I have no objection and can use private_* names
for next version unless there is other objection.
