Now it's bit 3:
#define KVM_MEMORY_EXIT_FLAG_PRIVATE (1ULL << 3)
I remember some other attributes were introduced in v10 yet:
#define KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_READ (1ULL << 0)
#define KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_WRITE (1ULL << 1)
#define KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_EXECUTE (1ULL << 2)
#define KVM_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTE_PRIVATE (1ULL << 3)
So KVM_MEMORY_EXIT_FLAG_PRIVATE changed to bit 3 due to above things,
or other reason ? (Sorry I didn't follow v10 too much before).
