We can create shared anonymous memory via
"-object memory-backend-ram,share=on,..."
which is, for example, required by PVRDMA for mremap() to work.
Shared anonymous memory is weird, though. Instead of MADV_DONTNEED, we
have to use MADV_REMOVE: MADV_DONTNEED will only remove / zap all
relevant page table entries of the current process, the backend storage
will not get removed, resulting in no reduced memory consumption and
a repopulation of previous content on next access.
Shared anonymous memory is internally really just shmem, but without a
fd exposed. As we cannot use fallocate() without the fd to discard the
backing storage, MADV_REMOVE gets the same job done without a fd as
documented in "man 2 madvise". Removing backing storage implicitly
invalidates all page table entries with relevant mappings - an additional
MADV_DONTNEED is not required.
