Add a new member "require_guest_memfd" to memory backends. When it's set

guest_memfd will be allocated during RAMBlock allocation.

Memory backend's @require_guest_memfd is wired with @require_guest_memfd
field of MachineState. MachineState::require_guest_memfd is supposed to
be set by any VMs that requires KVM guest memfd as private memory, e.g.,
TDX VM.

I'm confused, why do we need this if it's going to be the same for all
memory backends right now?


I want to provide a elegant (in my sense) way to configure "the need of
guest memfd" instead of checking x86machinestate->vm_type in physmem.c


It's suboptimal right now, but I guess you want to avoid looking up the machine e.g., in ram_backend_memory_alloc().

I'd suggest s/require_guest_memfd/guest_memfd/gc in "struct HostMemoryBackend".

sure!

Apart from that LGTM.
