[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] backends/hostmem-file: Add file-name property

[Pavel Fedin <p.fedin@samsung.com>]

This option allows to explicitly specify file name to use with the backend.
This is important when using it together with ivshmem in order to make it
backed by hugetlbfs. By default filename is autogenerated using mkstemp(),
and the file is unlink()ed after creation, effectively making it
anonymous. This is not very useful with ivshmem because it ends up in a
memory which cannot be accessed by something else.
