Introduce a "version 2" of KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION so that additional information can be supplied without setting userspace up to fail. The padding in the new kvm_userspace_memory_region2 structure will be used to pass a file descriptor in addition to the userspace_addr, i.e. allow userspace to point at a file descriptor and map memory into a guest that is NOT mapped into host userspace. Alternatively, KVM could simply add "struct kvm_userspace_memory_region2" without a new ioctl(), but as Paolo pointed out, adding a new ioctl() makes detection of bad flags a bit more robust, e.g. if the new fd field is guarded only by a flag and not a new ioctl(), then a userspace bug (setting a "bad" flag) would generate out-of-bounds access instead of an -EINVAL error.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
