For this inexplicit case, where the memory backend > is determined by '-mem-path', the memory backend is either TYPE_MEMORY_BACKEND_FILE > or TYPE_MEMORY_BACKEND_RAM.

Kohei, what were you suggesting then please ? I think TYPE_MEMORY_BACKEND_FILE would not pass the checks required by Michael's v3 [0] on CCA - I will test this and report back but the only backend allowed, rightly, is memfd,share=on, so it _is_ disallowed.
