We take into account the recorded page sizes to repair the
memory locations, calling ram_block_discard_range() to punch a hole
in the backend file when necessary and regenerate a usable memory.
Fall back to unmap/remap the memory location(s) if the kernel doesn't
support the madvise calls used by ram_block_discard_range().

Hugetlbfs poison case is also taken into account as a hole punch
with fallocate will reload a new page when first touched.

For shared memory we really need it.

Private file-backed is weird ... because we don't know if the shared or the private page is problematic ... :(

Maybe we should just do:

if (block->fd >= 0) {
	/* mmap(MAP_FIXED) cannot reliably zap our problematic page. */
	error_report(...);
	exit(-1);
}

Or alternatively

if (block->fd >= 0 && qemu_ram_is_shared(block)) {
	/* mmap() cannot possibly zap our problematic page. */
	error_report(...);
	exit(-1);
} else if (block->fd >= 0) {
	/*
	 * MAP_PRIVATE file-backed ... mmap() can only zap the private
	 * page, not the shared one ... we don't know which one is
	 * problematic.
	 */
	warn_report(...);
}

+                    qemu_ram_setup_dump(vaddr, length);

Can we factor the mmap hack out into a separate helper function to clean this up a bit?
