Hi,

"Host Memory Backends" and "Memory devices" queue ("mem"):
- Support and document VM templating with R/O files using a new "rom"
parameter for memory-backend-file
- Some cleanups and fixes around NVDIMMs and R/O file handling for guest
RAM
- Optimize ioeventfd updates by skipping address spaces that are not
applicable

docs: Don't mention "-mem-path" in multi-process.rst

Let's make that clearer.
