These change look a bit confusing to me, as I don't see how gmemfd can be
used with either file or ram typed memory backends..

When specified gmemfd=on with those, IIUC it'll allocate both the memory
(ramblock->host) and gmemfd, but without using ->host.  Meanwhile AFAIU the
ramblock->host will start to conflict with gmemfd in the future when it
might be able to be mapp-able (having valid ->host).

I have a local fix for this (and actually more than below.. but starting
from it), I'm not sure whether I overlooked something, but from reading the
cover letter it's only using memfd backend which makes perfect sense to me
so far.  I also don't know the planning of coco patches merging so I don't
think even if valid this is urgent - I don't want to mess up on merging
plans..  but still want to collect some comments on whether it's valid:
