Creates a memory file backend object, which can be used to back
the guest RAM with huge pages. The @option{id} parameter is a
The @option{share} boolean option determines whether the memory
region is marked as private to QEMU, or shared. The latter allows
a co-operating external process to access the QEMU memory region.
+Setting the @option{discard-data} boolean option to @var{on}
+indicates that file contents can be destroyed when QEMU exits,
+to avoid unnecessarily flushing data to the backing file. Note
+that @option{discard-data} is only an optimization, and QEMU
+might not discard file contents if it aborts unexpectedly or is
+terminated using SIGKILL.
