When a memory region is added with a src_type specifying that it should
use some kind of shared memory, also create an alias mapping to the same
underlying physical pages.
And, add an API so tests can get access to these alias addresses.
Basically, for a guest physical address, let us look up the analogous
host *alias* address.
In a future commit, we'll modify the demand paging test to take
advantage of this to exercise UFFD minor faults. The idea is, we
pre-fault the underlying pages *via the alias*. When the *guest*
faults, it gets a "minor" fault (PTEs don't exist yet, but a page is
already in the page cache). Then, the userfaultfd theads can handle the
fault: they could potentially modify the underlying memory *via the
alias* if they wanted to, and then they install the PTEs and let the
guest carry on via a UFFDIO_CONTINUE ioctl.

I would amend this to: "This allows the host to manipulate guest
memory without mapping that memory in the guest's address space," or
something to that effect.
