It's gfn_t actually. My original purpose for this is 32bit architectures
(if any) can also work with it since index of xarrary is 32bit on those
architectures. But kvm_enc_region is u64 so itr's even not possible.

Maybe I missed some information discussed elsewhere? I followed
https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/5/23/772. KVM is shared by default but
userspace should set all guest memory to private before the guest
launch, guest then sees all memory as private. While default it to
private sounds also good, if we only talk about the private/shared in
private memory context (I think so), then there is no ambiguity.

As I think that there may be other state beyond that. Fine with me to
just take consideration of private/shared, and it also sounds
reasonable for people who want to support that to change.
