Yup. I've messed up guest-locality. Will fix.

Also, I found this comment when increasing NR_IOBUS_DEVS:

/*
 * It would be nice to use something smarter than a linear search, TBD...
 * Thankfully we dont expect many devices to register (famous last words :),
 * so until then it will suffice.  At least its abstracted so we can change

 */

Since so far we've registered 5-6 devices, and now it may increase
significantly (since we may want to do the same change to ioeventfds,
which work the same way) - how would you feel if we make devices
register range(s) and do a rbtree lookup instead of a linear search?
