This isn't quite right, the stride and offset needs to be per-memslot too. Argh,
I created quite the mess by trying to take a shortcut for testing multiple memslots,
i.e. by only allowing '1' or "nr_vcpus" memslots. Much of the code assumes that
ranges can't be covered by multiple memslots, e.g. the UCALL_SYNC handler assumes
the entire range is contiguous in the host virtual address space.

And I think there's meaningful coverage we're not getting, e.g. as is I don't think
we're testing KVM_SET_MEMORY_ATTRIBUTES across multiple memslots (thankfully we
seem to have gotten the KVM side of things correct).

I'll post a small series to clean up the mess and let the user specify the number
of memslots (with some restrictions to keep the code relatively simple).
