Now that the "state_mutex" is getting used for other stuff, should we
just make it "mutex"?

Please just use a goto here.  It's nicer looking, and much more in line
with what's there already.

It looks like we have state in both the memory_block and
memory_block_section.  That seems a bit confusing to me.  This also
looks like it would permit non-contiguous memory_block_sections in a
memory_block.  Is that what you intended?

If the memory_block's state was inferred to be the same as each
memory_block_section, couldn't we just keep a start and end phys_index
in the memory_block, and get away from having memory_block_sections at
all?
