Just started to play with this, in general the series looks good to me on
a first glance. I will review in anger next week.
Meanwhile: when you start kvmtool without explicitly specifying a ram size
on the command line, the code misses to initialise cfg.ram_addr, so it
stays at 0 and kvmtool reports:
  Fatal: RAM address is below 2GB
One possible fix would be to initialise this in get_ram_size() to
kvm__arch_default_ram_address(), I guess, but you might find a better solution.

Cheers,
Andre
