Assuming that we need this flag (maybe not given Marc's suggestion on
another patch), I'd recommend re-naming it to explain _what_ it does,
rather than _who_ is using it.
I agree with this.
That's the principle we followed for e.g. KVM_PGTABLE_S2_IDMAP, so we
should be consistent here as well.
But I think maybe we don't need the new flag anymore with Marc's suggestion.
Currently the CMOs right before installation or update of a PTE are 
guest-specific.
So if we also take the new optional callbacks as guest specific, then a 
new flag is
not necessary because we can check whether the callbacks have been 
initialized
to determine if we are managing a guest S2 PTE.

Thanks,
Yanan
