In the context of confidential computing usages, guest can issue a
shared memory access while the memory is actually private from the host
point of view. This exit with bit 0 cleared gives userspace a chance to
convert the private memory to shared memory on host.

Sean mentioned some more usages[1][]2] other than the memory conversion
for confidential usage. But I would leave those flags being added in the
future after those usages being well discussed.

Tough we only have one reason right now but we still want to leave room
for future extension. Enum can express a single value at once well but
bitmask makes it possible to express multiple orthogonal flags.
