Not CCing you (or mm in general) was intentional because I first
wanted a review of the KVM APIs; of course I wouldn't have committed
it without an Acked-by. But yeah, not writing the changelog yet was
pure laziness.

Since you're here: KVM would like to add a ioctl to encrypt and
install a page into guest_memfd, in preparation for launching an
encrypted guest. For this API we want to rule out the possibility of
overwriting a page that is already in the guest_memfd's filemap,
therefore this API would pass FGP_CREAT_ONLY|FGP_CREAT
into__filemap_get_folio. Do you think this is bogus...

.. or if not, what incompleteness can you spot?
