Is this new callback really needed?  Shouldn't kvm->arch.upm_mode be sufficient
enough to indicate whether the private memory will be used or not?

Probably the CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_PRIVATE_MEM_TESTING is the concern here.  But this
Kconfig option is not even x86-specific, so shouldn't the handling of it be done
in common code too?

For instance, can we explicitly set 'kvm->arch.upm_mode' to 'true' at some point
of creating the VM if we see CONFIG_HAVE_KVM_PRIVATE_MEM_TESTING is true?
