Currently file_ram_alloc() is designed for hugetlbfs, however, the memory
of nvdimm can come from either raw pmem device eg, /dev/pmem, or the file
locates at DAX enabled filesystem

So this patch let it work on any kind of path

It is strange to see this warning every time.

Shouldn't the differentiation be done explicitly in command line? May be 
separate option mem-tlb, or separate flag tlbfs=on, or for new feature - 
new option mem-file, or prefixes for paths (tlbfs://, file://).. Or the 
other way to not mix things but split them.

This is just a reminder to users. Currently Qemu do not stop user to append a regular file
for its backend memory, particularly, hugetlbfs is not the only way to use HugePage for
the THP-enabled system.

We can implement your idea as a independent patchset in the future.

Isn't the whole point of this patch to make the code not specific to
hugetlbfs anymore? It makes the warning obsolete.

Before this patchset, this warning still can be triggered, for example, we
can specify the @path to /tmp/

I agree this warning could be improved, but let us do it independently.

So this allows regular memory to be specified directly.
This needs to be split out and merged separately
from acpi/nvdimm bits.

Alternatively, if it's possible to use nvdimm with DAX fs
(similar to hugetlbfs), leave these patches off for now.

Looks like we are still calling mkstemp/unlink here.
How does this work?

Yup, that is in my plan.

DAX is a filesystem mount options, it is not easy to get this
info from a file.

And this patch just renames the variables, no logic changed. Will drop it from the serials
for now on.
