For fd-based memslot store the file references for shared fd and the private fd (if any) in the memslot structure. Since there is no 'hva' concept we cannot call hva_to_pfn() to get a pfn, instead kvm_memfd_ops is added to get_pfn/put_pfn from the memory backing stores that provide these fds.

Hmm, that would be another area KVM needs to change. Not totally undoable.
Maybe the proposal which kept userspace_addr for the shared fd is more doable (it would be great to ultimately remove the mandatory userspace mapping for the shared fd, but I think KVM is not quite ready for that).
Agree for short term keeping shared part unchanged would be making work easy:) Let me try that to see if any blocker.
