It's probably a good idea to zero initialize the full region to avoid consuming
garbage stack data if there's a bug and an _ext field is accessed without first
checking KVM_MEM_PRIVATE.  I'm usually opposed to unnecessary initialization, but
this seems like something we could screw up quite easily.

In this patch, KVM_MEM_PRIVATE should result in an -EINVAL as it's not yet
supported.  Copying the _ext on KVM_MEM_PRIVATE belongs in the "Expose KVM_MEM_PRIVATE"
patch.

Mechnically, what about first reading flags via get_user(), and then doing a single
copy_from_user()?  It's technically more work in the common case, and requires an
extra check to guard against TOCTOU attacks, but this isn't a fast path by any means
and IMO the end result makes it easier to understand the relationship between
KVM_MEM_PRIVATE and the two different structs.

E.g.

	case KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION: {
		struct kvm_user_mem_region region;
		unsigned long size;
		u32 flags;

		memset(&region, 0, sizeof(region));

		r = -EFAULT;
		if (get_user(flags, (u32 __user *)(argp + offsetof(typeof(region), flags))))
			goto out;

		if (flags & KVM_MEM_PRIVATE)
			size = sizeof(struct kvm_userspace_memory_region_ext);
		else
			size = sizeof(struct kvm_userspace_memory_region);
		if (copy_from_user(&region, argp, size))
			goto out;

		r = -EINVAL;
		if ((flags ^ region.flags) & KVM_MEM_PRIVATE)
			goto out;

		r = kvm_vm_ioctl_set_memory_region(kvm, &region);
		break;
	}
