Based-on: 20210406080126.24010-1-david@redhat.com

Some cleanups previously sent in other context (resizeable allocations),
followed by RAM_NORESERVE, implementing it under Linux using MAP_NORESERVE,
and letting users configure it for memory backens using the "reserve"
property (default: true).

MAP_NORESERVE under Linux has in the context of QEMU an effect on
1) Private/shared anonymous memory
-> memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=10G
2) Private fd-based mappings
-> memory-backend-file,id=mem0,size=10G,mem-path=/dev/shm/0
-> memory-backend-memfd,id=mem0,size=10G
3) Private/shared hugetlb mappings
-> memory-backend-memfd,id=mem0,size=10G,hugetlb=on,hugetlbsize=2M

With MAP_NORESERVE/"reserve=off", we won't be reserving swap space (1/2) or
huge pages (3) for the whole memory region.

The target use case is virtio-mem, which dynamically exposes memory
inside a large, sparse memory area to the VM. MAP_NORESERVE tells the OS
"this mapping might be very sparse". This essentially allows
avoiding having to set "/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory == 1") when using
virtio-mem and also supporting hugetlbfs in the future.

v6 -> v7:
- Collected ACKs and RBs
- "hostmem: Wire up RAM_NORESERVE via "reserve" property"
-- Extended qapi/qom.json documentation
- "qmp: Include "reserve" property of memory backends"
-- Extended property description

v5 -> v6:
- "softmmu/memory: Pass ram_flags to memory_region_init ..."
-- Split up into two patches
---> "softmmu/memory: Pass ram_flags to memory_region.."
---> "softmmu/memory: Pass ram_flags to qemu_ram_alloc() ..."
-- Also set RAM_PREALLOC from qemu_ram_alloc_from_ptr()
- Collected acks/rbs

v4 -> v5:
- Sent out shared anonymous RAM fixes separately
- Rebased
- "hostmem: Wire up RAM_NORESERVE via "reserve" property"
-- Adjusted/simplified description of new "reserve" property
-- Properly add it to qapi/qom.json
- "qmp: Clarify memory backend properties returned via query-memdev"
-- Added
- "qmp: Include "share" property of memory backends"
-- Added
- "hmp: Print "share" property of memory backends with "info memdev""
- Added
- "qmp: Include "reserve" property of memory backends"
-- Adjust description of new "reserve" property

v3 -> v4:
- Minor comment/description updates
- "softmmu/physmem: Fix ram_block_discard_range() to handle shared ..."
-- Extended description
- "util/mmap-alloc: Pass flags instead of separate bools to ..."
-- Move flags to include/qemu/osdep.h and rename to "QEMU_MAP_*"
- "memory: Introduce RAM_NORESERVE and wire it up in qemu_ram_mmap()"
-- Adjust to new flags. Handle errors in mmap_activate() for now.
- "util/mmap-alloc: Support RAM_NORESERVE via MAP_NORESERVE under Linux"
-- Restrict support to Linux only for now
- "qmp: Include "reserve" property of memory backends"
-- Added
- "hmp: Print "reserve" property of memory backends with ..."
-- Added

v2 -> v3:
- Renamed "softmmu/physmem: Drop "shared" parameter from ram_block_add()"
  to "softmmu/physmem: Mark shared anonymous memory RAM_SHARED" and
  adjusted the description
- Added "softmmu/physmem: Fix ram_block_discard_range() to handle shared
  anonymous memory"
- Added "softmmu/physmem: Fix qemu_ram_remap() to handle shared anonymous
  memory"
- Added "util/mmap-alloc: Pass flags instead of separate bools to
  qemu_ram_mmap()"
- "util/mmap-alloc: Support RAM_NORESERVE via MAP_NORESERVE"
-- Further tweak code comments
-- Handle shared anonymous memory

v1 -> v2:
- Rebased to upstream and phs_mem_alloc simplifications
-- Upsteam added the "map_offset" parameter to many RAM allocation
   interfaces.
- "softmmu/physmem: Drop "shared" parameter from ram_block_add()"
-- Use local variable "shared"
- "memory: introduce RAM_NORESERVE and wire it up in qemu_ram_mmap()"
-- Simplify due to phs_mem_alloc changes
- "util/mmap-alloc: Support RAM_NORESERVE via MAP_NORESERVE"
-- Add a whole bunch of comments.
-- Exclude shared anonymous memory that QEMU doesn't use
-- Special-case readonly mappings
