[PATCH v1 0/3] softmmu/physmem: file_ram_open() readonly improvements

[David Hildenbrand]

Patch #1 is the result of the discussion of:
    "[PATCH v2] softmmu/physmem: try opening file readonly before failure
     in file_ram_open" [1]

Instead of handling it inside file_ram_open(), handle it in the caller
and only fallback to readonly in a MAP_PRIVATE mapping.

Patch #2 refuses to create readonly files instead of creating a new file
and opening it writable. Patch #3 no longer returns
directories from file_ram_open(), resulting in a better error message when
trying to open a readonly file but specifying a directory.
