I looked at if I should add this as an untrusted function so that Smatch
could find these sorts of bugs but this is reading data from the host so
there has to be some level of trust...

I should add some more untrusted data kvm functions to Smatch.  Right
now I only have kvm_register_read() and I've added kvm_read_guest_virt()
just now.

What does this bug look like to the user?  A minimum block size of 1
seems pretty crazy.  Surely the minimum should be higher?
