Currently, file_ram_alloc() only works on directory - it creates a file
under @path and do mmap on it

This patch tries to allow it to work on file directly, if @path is a
directory it works as before, otherwise it treats @path as the target
file then directly allocate memory from it

I was going to send tomorrow a pull request for a similar patch,
"backends/hostmem-file: Allow to specify full pathname for backing file".

The main difference seems to be your usage of O_EXCL.  Can you explain
why you added it?

It' used if we pass a block device as a NVDIMM backend memory:
 O_EXCL can be used without O_CREAT if pathname refers to a block device.  If the block device
 is in use by the system (e.g., mounted), open() fails with the error EBUSY
