Currently, file_ram_alloc() only works on directory - it creates a file
under @path and do mmap on it

This patch tries to allow it to work on file directly, if @path is a
directory it works as before, otherwise it treats @path as the target
file then directly allocate memory from it

I think the name should be more descriptive, as it is very special 
function in common exec.c and it doesn't "just open file path'.. May be 
open_ram_file_path

Was not there old scenarios when path is file? statfs will  success for 
any file withing mounted filesystem.

Also, may be we shouldn't warn about "Memory is not allocated from 
HugeTlbfs.\n" in case of !path_is_dir ?

Yes.

The old scenarios will create a temporary file under the @path that stop regular file's work.

A file from hugetlbfs and attach it as backend memory is a valid case to users.

This means file doesn't exist is treated as a file.
Can't figure out if that's intentional, should
be documented in any case.

The path is dir only if it passes S_ISDIR test. Otherwise, it is treated
as regular file. Any error on the file will be figured out by open() and
mmap() later.

RAM_SHARED means its write is invisible to others also it does not actual
change the content of the file. Readonly permission is enough for this case.
It is also help us to pass a readonly file to the guess but discard its change
after guest shutdown.

It' used if we pass a block device as a NVDIMM backend memory:
   O_EXCL can be used without O_CREAT if pathname refers to a block
device.  If the block device is in use by the system (e.g., mounted),
open() fails with the error EBUSY

BTW, the similar logic has already been in upsteam QEMU which is
introduced by commit 8d31d6b6 (backends/hostmem-file: Allow to specify
full pathname for backing file). I will drop these patches:
   util: introduce qemu_file_get_page_size()
   exec: allow memory to be allocated from any kind of path
   exec: allow file_ram_alloc to work on file
