+ *
+ * Parameters:
+ * @size: the size in bytes of the ram block
+ * @mr: the memory region where the ram block is
+ * @ram_flags: specify the properties of the ram block, which can be one
+ * or bit-or of following values
+ * - RAM_SHARED: mmap the backing file or device with MAP_SHARED
+ * Other bits are ignored.
+ * @mem_path or @fd: specify the backing file or device
+ * @errp: pointer to Error*, to store an error if it happens
+ *
+ * Return:
+ * On success, return a pointer to the ram block.
+ * On failure, return NULL.
