[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for 2.1 2/2] memory-backend-file: improve error handling

[Hu Tao]

This patch fixes two problems of memory-backend-file:

1. If user adds a memory-backend-file object using object_add command,
   specifying a non-existing directory for property mem-path, qemu
   will core dump with message:

     /nonexistingdir: No such file or directory
     Bad ram offset fffffffffffff000
     Aborted (core dumped)

2. If user adds a memory-backend-file object using object_add command,
   specifying a size that is less than huge page size, qemu
   will core dump with message:

     Bad ram offset fffffffffffff000
     Aborted (core dumped)
