The function name makes is sound like we are testing whether a kvm_gmem instance
is private. The common code functions are
kvm_mem_is_private
and
kvm_vm_mem_is_private
So I would expect this here to be called
kvm_gmem_mem_is_private
But then, it's confusing that there is
kvm_gmem_is_private_mem()
already, which the new function calls. Maybe we have to indicate for the latter
that it works on the inode?
kvm_gmem_inode_mem_is_private()
?
