[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] exec.c: Ensure right alignment also for file backed ram

[Dominik Dingel]

While in the anonymous ram case we already take care of the right alignment
such an alignment gurantee does not exist for file backed ram allocation.

Instead, pagesize is used for alignment. On s390 this is not enough for gmap,
as we need to satisfy an alignment up to segments.

v2 -> v3:
Skipping additional variable and just use alignment of memory region.
As memory will not be backpropagated it is enough to round up to page_sizes.

v1 -> v2:
While enforcing alignments we allow memory sizes on page_size.
On mmap the memory size will be round up to alignments.

I thought about moving this alignment into qemu_ram_mmap but the result
was a lot of code churn, the other possibility was to create an additional
define ending up with two defines with the same semantics.
