Thanks, that's what I expected.

While this is not possible, the only requests I have for this
patch is that we clearly document:
* What's the only purpose of share=on on a host-memory-backend
  object (due to pvrdma limitations).
* The potential undesirable side-effects of setting share=on.
* On the commit message and other comments, clearly distinguish
  HVAs in the QEMU address-space from IOVAs, to avoid confusion.
