Doesn't read well - as in I'm not quite sure what you meant... Neither
and nor are usually paired together if that helps any
when migrating from older libvirt that did not do this. So similarly
to
commit 7832fac84741d65e851dbdbfaf474785cbfdcf3c which does it for
memory-backend-ram, this commit makes is more generic and
backend-agnostic, so the backend is not used if there is no specific
pagesize of hugepages requested, no nodeset the memory node should be
bound to, no memory access change required, and so on.

Wasn't clear to me why this was removed. The code that follows within
the if will create a memory-backend-file
I see below the check is made in the else case but there's no hugepage
the list of !x && !y && !z ...
Perhaps I'm being thrown by the use of "pagesize" and "hugepage"
conditions. The 'hugepage' only gets set if 'pagesize = 0'... If
'hugepage' is set, can pagesize be '0' (outside if pagesize ==
system_page_size)
Sorry - just trying to think through the logic...
I guess removing it is fine, but it's not obvious without digging in a
bit...

As confusing as the diff is - it looks cleaner in it's final version.
Hopefully Michal or Peter can also look at the final product - it looks
good to me though
ACK with some adjustments
