Does it need a new CAP to indicate the support of guest_memfd?

This is patch series introduces 3 new CAPs and it seems any one of them can serve as the indicator of guest_memfd.

+#define KVM_CAP_USER_MEMORY2 230
+#define KVM_CAP_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES 231
+#define KVM_CAP_VM_TYPES 232

or we just go and try the ioctl, the return value will tell the result?
