5503e285041979dd29698ecb41729b3b22622e8d ivshmem: Implement shm=... with a memory backend
ivshmem has its very own code to create and map shared memory.
Replace that with an implicitly created memory backend. Reduces the
number of ways we create BAR 2 from three to two.
The memory-backend-file is currently available only with CONFIG_LINUX,
so this adds a second Linuxism to ivshmem (the other one is eventfd).
Should we ever need to make it portable to systems where
memory-backend-file can't be made to serve, we could create a
memory-backend-shmem that allocates memory with shm_open().
Bonus fix: shared memory files are now created with permissions 0655
instead of 0777.
