/**
- * qemu_ram_mmap: mmap the specified file or device.
+ * qemu_ram_mmap: mmap anonymous memory, the specified file or device.
+ *
+ * mmap() abstraction to map guest RAM, simplifying flag handling, taking
+ * care of alignment requirements and installing guard pages.
*
* Parameters:
* @fd: the file or the device to mmap
* @size: the number of bytes to be mmaped
* @align: if not zero, specify the alignment of the starting mapping address;
* otherwise, the alignment in use will be determined by QEMU.
- * @readonly: true for a read-only mapping, false for read/write.
- * @shared: map has RAM_SHARED flag.
- * @is_pmem: map has RAM_PMEM flag.
+ * @qemu_map_flags: QEMU_MAP_* flags
* @map_offset: map starts at offset of map_offset from the start of fd
*
+ * Internally, MAP_PRIVATE, MAP_ANONYMOUS and MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE are set
+ * implicitly based on other parameters.
+ *
* Return:
* On success, return a pointer to the mapped area.
* On failure, return MAP_FAILED.
