It would be nicer, and I suppose it would be pretty easy to do
as well. kvm-unit-tests/arm has always been a balance between being
over-engineered for its purposes and being too hacky. In this case,
I was probably too hacky. Although KVM only supports up to 512 VCPUS
right now and these two regions support up to 635, so it'll be a while
before a third region will be needed.

If I find time I'll send a v2, but in the meantime it'd be good to
get test results with this version to be sure I didn't miss anything
else.

Thanks,
drew
