[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v6 03/29] postcopy: use UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE only when available

["Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)" <dgilbert@redhat.com>]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

Use a flag on the RAMBlock to state whether it has the
UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE capability, use it when it's available.

This allows the use of postcopy on tmpfs as well as hugepage
backed files.
