As mentioned in v9, the name is confusing.

	kvm_gmem_mem_is_private

?

Ya, +1 to kvm_gmem_mem_is_private.

So kvm_gmem_mem_is_private() calls kvm_gmem_is_private_mem()
internallly. Ummmm.

How about

  kvm_gmem_mem_is_private(kvm, gfn)
  __gmem_mem_is_private(inode, index)  <== this is a static function
                                           anyway, though it calls
                                           kvm_gmem_get_attributes(inode, entry)

or

  kvm_gmem_gfn_is_private(kvm, gfn)
  kvm_gmem_is_private_mem(inode, index)

  (rename the vm stuff with the suffix gfn_is_private())

or (current, it is actually weird)

  kvm_gmem_mem_is_private(kvm, gfn)
  kvm_gmem_is_private_mem(inode, index)

or

  kvm_gmem_mem_is_private(kvm, gfn)
  kvm_gmem_index_is_private(inode, index)
