Subject[PATCH v3 12/15] KVM: Add KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_ERROR exit
Date
This new exit allows user space to handle memory-related errors.
Currently it supports two types (KVM_EXIT_MEM_MAP_SHARED/PRIVATE) of
errors which are used for shared memory <-> private memory conversion
in memory encryption usage.

After private memory is enabled, there are two places in KVM that can
exit to userspace to trigger private <-> shared conversion:
- explicit conversion: happens when guest explicitly calls into KVM to
map a range (as private or shared), KVM then exits to userspace to
do the map/unmap operations.
- implicit conversion: happens in KVM page fault handler.
* if the fault is due to a private memory access then causes a
userspace exit for a shared->private conversion request when the
page has not been allocated in the private memory backend.
* If the fault is due to a shared memory access then causes a
userspace exit for a private->shared conversion request when the
page has already been allocated in the private memory backend.
