I've chosen memfd because it implements file descriptor for memory
access. Indeed, there similarities end and this can be entirely new
system call.
And, TBH, I was too lazy to wire up a new syscall for RFC :)

Will fix.

Apparently I did. Thanks!

Hmm, most probably not. I'll recheck and will replace with
