This is broken for 32-bit kernels, where gfn_t is a 64-bit value but pgoff_t is a
32-bit value.  There's no reason to support this for 32-bit kernels, so...

The easiest fix, and likely most maintainable for other code too, would be to
add a dedicated CONFIG for private memory, and then have KVM check that for all
the memfile stuff.  x86 can then select it only for 64-bit kernels, and in turn
select MEMFILE_NOTIFIER iff private memory is supported.

And in addition to replacing checks on CONFIG_MEMFILE_NOTIFIER, the probing of
whether or not KVM_MEM_PRIVATE is allowed can be:

In a similar vein, get_locK_pfn() shouldn't return a "long".  KVM likely won't use
these APIs on 32-bit kernels, but that may not hold true for other subsystems, and
this code is confusing and technically wrong.  The pfns for struct page squeeze
into an unsigned long because PAE support is capped at 64gb, but casting to a
signed long could result in a pfn with bit 31 set being misinterpreted as an error.

Even returning an "unsigned long" for the pfn is wrong.  It "works" for the shmem
code because shmem deals only with struct page, but it's technically wrong, especially
since one of the selling points of this approach is that it can work without struct
page.

OUT params suck, but I don't see a better option than having the return value be
0/-errno, with "pfn_t *pfn" for the resolved pfn.

This should be a WARN_ON() as its usage should be guarded by a KVM_PRIVATE_MEM
check, and private memslots should be disallowed in this case.

Alternatively, it might be a good idea to #ifdef these out entirely and not provide
stubs.  That'd likely require a stub or two in arch code, but overall it might be
less painful in the long run, e.g. would force us to more carefully consider the
touch points for private memory.  Definitely not a requirement, just an idea.
