From: Michael Roth <michael.roth@xxxxxxx>
When guest_memfd is enabled, the BIOS is generally part of the initial
encrypted guest image and will be accessed as private guest memory. Add
the necessary changes to set up the associated RAM region with a
guest_memfd backend to allow for this.
Current support centers around using -bios to load the BIOS data.
Support for loading the BIOS via pflash requires additional enablement
since those interfaces rely on the use of ROM memory regions which make
use of the KVM_MEM_READONLY memslot flag, which is not supported for
guest_memfd-backed memslots.

Could anyone explain to me why above change is related to this patch and
why need it?
because inside x86_isa_bios_init(), the alias isa_bios is set to
read_only while guest_memfd doesn't support readonly?
/* map all the bios at the top of memory */
