- [#4502](https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/pull/4502): Only
13+
use memfd to back guest memory if a vhost-user-blk device is configured,
14+
otherwise use anonymous private memory. This is because serving page faults of
15+
shared memory used by memfd is slower and may impact workloads.
