Unfortunately madvise DONTNEED doesn't work on hugepagetlb
so use fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE)
qemu_fd_getpagesize only sets the page based off a file
if the file is from hugetlbfs.

Can we move this to qemu-posix or similar?
qemu_punch_hole() or similar and just put all the magic there?

For the rest, I am ok with it.

I'm trying but it's tricky.
The problem is that:
   a) To be able to tell which you need you need the pagesize of the
     area
   b) Then you need the fd if it is a hugepage
     (You can get (a) from (b) by a syscall we already do once)
   c) If it's normal RAM you need the memory address but...
   d) If it's a hugepage you need the offset in the file

  which is a mess; so you either have to pass all those parameters,
or end up passing a RAMBlock* which doesn't feel like it should
make its way into any of the os-* files.

  I could move it to exec.c that already has some ifdef on OSs;
what do you think?

I hate this in generic code :-()





I think that the function will have to be called:

qemu_ram_punch_hole(RAMBblock *, length);

Put it all together at the beggining of the file?
What I don't want is that if someone arrives with a way to do this in
other OS, we need to put yet more ifdefs.  I preffer very much that it
just have to define a function with that semantics.  Agreed that this is
a mess, but I can't think of an easier way of doing it either :-()
