Re: [RFC PATCH v4 04/10] KVM: x86: Introduce PFERR_GUEST_ENC_MASK to indicate fault is private

This doesn't "introduce" anything, in the sense that it's an AMD-defined error
code flag. That matters because KVM *did* introduce/define PFERR_IMPLICIT_ACCESS.

Please synthesize the error code flag for SW-protected VMs, same as TDX, e.g.

diff --git a/arch/x86/kvm/mmu/mmu.c b/arch/x86/kvm/mmu/mmu.c

r = handle_mmio_page_fault(vcpu, cr2_or_gpa, direct);

Functionally it's the same, but I want all VM types to have the same source of
truth for private versus shared, and I really don't want kvm_is_fault_private()
to exist.
