The cases when we cannot enable this optimization are:
1) nvdimms
2) if memAccess='shared'
Otherwise it is safe to enable it.
This is basically saying that if memAccess==private, then no person/app cares
about the contents of the memory-backend-file storage after QEMU has exited,
because (implicitly) whatever data was in that storage is not going to be used
again. While I accept that's going to be a common case, I'm wary of saying that
is a 100% safe/valid assumption for every user.
I tend think it should require an explicit opt-in to turn on this behaviour

Daniel
