1. currently file_ram_alloc() uses TPH specific code, I suggest to keep name
   "memory-backend-file" free for now so that in case if there would be need in
   a generic file backend, we could introduce it without causing confusion
   with TPH backend.
2. There is not much point to build TPH backend for every host, we can exclude
   it safely from non linux builds, instead of building it and make it
   failing at runtime.

yes.
