[RFC PATCH 2/5] KVM: guest_memfd: Move gmem function declarations to dedicated guest_memfd.h
From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Tue Apr 28 2026 - 13:26:02 EST
Extract the gmem function declarations out of kvm_mm.h and into a dedicated
header, guest_memfd.h. This will allow creating a MAINTAINERS entry for
guest_memfd without having to rely on content pattern matching.
