Re: [RFC PATCH v12 10/33] KVM: Set the stage for handling only shared mappings in mmu_notifier events

Add flags to "struct kvm_gfn_range" to let notifier events target only
shared and only private mappings, and write up the existing mmu_notifier
events to be shared-only (private memory is never associated with a
userspace virtual address, i.e. can't be reached via mmu_notifiers).

Add two flags so that KVM can handle the three possibilities (shared,
private, and shared+private) without needing something like a tri-state
enum.

How to understand the word "stage" in short log?
