Linux commit 749df87bd7bee5a79cef073f5d032ddb2b211de8 (v4.14-rc1)
added a new flag MFD_HUGETLB to memfd_create() that specify the file
to be created resides in the hugetlbfs filesystem. This is the
generic hugetlbfs filesystem not associated with any specific mount
point.
hugetlbfs does not support sealing operations in v4.14, therefore
specifying MFD_ALLOW_SEALING with MFD_HUGETLB will result in EINVAL.
However, I added sealing support in "[PATCH v3 0/9] memfd: add sealing
to hugetlb-backed memory" series, queued in -mm tree for v4.16.

Add a function to only create a memfd, without mmap. The function is
used in the following memory backend.

Recent glibc added memfd_create in sys/mman.h. This conflicts with
the definition in util/memfd.c:
/builddir/build/BUILD/qemu-2.11.0-rc1/util/memfd.c:40:12: error: static declaration of memfd_create follows non-static declaration
Fix the configure test, and remove the sys/memfd.h inclusion since the
file actually does not exist---it is a typo in the memfd_create(2) man
page.

qemu/osdep.h checks whether MAP_ANONYMOUS is defined, but this check
is bogus without a previous inclusion of sys/mman.h. Include it in
sysemu/os-posix.h and remove it from everywhere else.

Add an open/unlink/mmap fallback for system that do not support
memfd (only available since 3.17, ~1y ago).
This patch may require additional SELinux policies to work for enforced
systems, but should fail gracefully in this case.

Implement memfd_create() fallback if not available in system libc.
memfd_create() is still not included in glibc today, atlhough it's been
available since Linux 3.17 in Oct 2014.
memfd has numerous advantages over traditional shm/mmap for ipc memory
sharing with fd handler, which we are going to make use of for
vhost-user logging memory in following patches.
The next patches are going to introduce helpers to use best practices of
memfd usage and provide some compatibility fallback. memfd.c is thus
temporarily useless and eventually empty if memfd_create() is provided
by the system.
