I had, probably incorrectly, assumed that we'd eventually want to allow
gmem for all VMs, including traditional KVM VMs that don't have anything
special. Perhaps the gmem support could be exposed via a KVM_CAP in this
case?

Anyway, no objection to the proposed approach in this patch assuming we
will eventually have HW_PROTECTED_VM for pKVM VMs, and that _that_ can be
bit 31 :).

Thanks,
Quentin
