OK, I can fix memory region mapping for v3 pretty easily.

That 700 is what I got when I tried compiling with gcc-5.2, before
changing the toc alignment. I guess that just means "we've gone off
in the weeds." Unfortunately I don't have any idea why this time,
assuming we've got the toc patched kvm-unit-tests. Does everything
run except the rtas-poweroff command? If you comment the call to it
out of exit(), and then just use ^C to quit, does it seem happy?
