Ah no, I'm wrong here. Setting args.unreliable causes the notifier to
return 0 instead of MMU_NOTIFIER_YOUNG_FAST.
MMU_NOTIFIER_YOUNG_BITMAP_UNRELIABLE is used for something else.
The control flow of all this and naming of functions and macros is
overall confusing. args.unreliable and
MMU_NOTIFIER_YOUNG_BITMAP_UNRELIABLE for one. Also I now realize
kvm_arch_prepare/finish_bitmap_age() are used even when the bitmap is
_not_ provided, so those names are also misleading.
