+KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION2 is an extension to KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION that
+allows mapping guest_memfd memory into a guest.  All fields shared with
+KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION identically.  Userspace can set KVM_MEM_PRIVATE in
+flags to have KVM bind the memory region to a given guest_memfd range of
+[guest_memfd_offset, guest_memfd_offset + memory_size].  The target guest_memfd

The range end should be exclusive, is it?
