Subject: [PATCH 09/44] KVM: ensure that memslot userspace addresses are page-aligned

From: Hollis Blanchard <hollisb@...ibm.com>

Bad page translation and silent guest failure ensue if the userspace address is
not page-aligned.  I hit this problem using large (host) pages with qemu,
because qemu currently has a hardcoded 4096-byte alignment for guest memory
allocations.
