Thanks, I agree that introducing mmap this way could help in having it
merged earlier, independently of conversion support, to support testing.

I'll adopt this patch in the next revision of 1G page support for
guest_memfd.

Perhaps this could be declared in the #ifdef CONFIG_KVM_PRIVATE_MEM
block?

Could this be defined as a __weak symbol for architectures to override?
Or perhaps that can be done once guest_memfd gets refactored separately
since now the entire guest_memfd.c isn't even compiled if
CONFIG_KVM_PRIVATE_MEM is not set.

Will it always be a SIGBUS if there is some error getting a folio?

Proposal - rephrase this comment as: before typed folios can be mapped,
PGTY_guestmem is only tagged on folios so that guest_memfd will receive
the kvm_gmem_handle_folio_put() callback. The tag is definitely not
expected when a folio is about to be faulted in.

I propose the above because I think technically when mappability is NONE
the folio isn't private? Not sure if others see this differently.

I think it's better to surround this with #ifdef
CONFIG_KVM_GMEM_SHARED_MEM so that when more code gets inserted between
the struct declaration and the definition of kvm_gmem_mmap() it is more
obvious that .mmap is only overridden when CONFIG_KVM_GMEM_SHARED_MEM is
set.
