Please use the ULL postfix for constants to ensure the types are sane.
Also, please come up with a sane name for these.

Would it not be simpler to mmap() a "ram_size + gap_size" contiguous
region and mprotect(PROT_NONE) the gap? We'd still tell KVM and E820
maps about two separate regions but guest_flat_to_host() would
work-as-is.
