Hmm, this is somewhat undesirable, because faulting in private pfns will be blocked
by unrelated mmu_notifier updates.  The issue is mitigated to some degree by bumping
the sequence count if and only if overlap with a memslot is detected, e.g. mapping
changes that affects only userspace won't block the guest.

It probably won't be an issue, but at the same time it's easy to solve, and I don't
like piggybacking mmu_notifier_seq as private mappings shouldn't be subject to the
mmu_notifier.

That would also fix a theoretical bug in this patch where mmu_notifier_retry()
wouldn't be defined if CONFIG_MEMFILE_NOTIFIER=y && CONFIG_MMU_NOTIFIER=n.a

Why does the shmem path lock the page, and then unlock it here?

Same question for why this path marks it dirty?  The guest has the page mapped
so the dirty flag is immediately stale.

In other words, why does KVM need to do something different for private pfns?

Indirect MMUs can't support private faults, i.e. this is unnecessary.
