Inside of virDomainMemoryDefValidate() there's a check that address where a virtio-mem memory device is mapped to is a multiple of its block size. But this check is off by a couple of bits, because the memory address is in bytes while the block size is in kibibytes. Therefore, when checking whether address is a multiple of the block size, the latter has to be multiplied by a factor of 1024.
