Any objection to folding these patches into a series I have to clean up
set_memory_region_test (which was mentioned in a prior version) and add
this as a testcase to set_memory_region_test instead of creating a whole
new test?

A large chunk of set_memory_region_test will still be x86_64 only, but
having the test reside in common code will hopefully make it easier to
extend to other architectures.
