My preference for kvm-unit-tests is that we avoid tolerating
unit tests that do things "wrong". This patch allows setup_vm
to be called multiple times, but why do that? Why not just
ensure it's only called once? If it looks like a mistake that's
easy to make and hard to debug, then maybe we need an assert

 assert(!end_of_memory); /* ensure we haven't already called setup_vm */

or something.

Thanks,
drew
