What's the convention of err? Can we abstract it by introducing a new bit
PFERR_PRIVATE_MASK? The caller sets it based on arch specific value.
the logic will be
        .is_private = err & PFERR_PRIVATE_MASK;

This code path is sad. One extra slot lookup and xarray look up.
Without mmu lock, the result can change by other vcpu.
Let's find a better way.
