  - KVM_MEMORY_EXIT_FLAG_PRIVATE - When set, indicates the memory fault occurred
    on a private memory access.  When clear, indicates the fault occurred on a
    shared access.
+ - KVM_MEMORY_EXIT_FLAG_USERFAULT - When set, indicates the memory fault
+   occurred, because the vCPU attempted to access a gfn marked as userfault.
 
 Note!  KVM_EXIT_MEMORY_FAULT is unique among all KVM exit reasons in that it
 accompanies a return code of '-1', not '0'!  errno will always be set to EFAULT
