VM memory is not allocated contiguously in host memory, it can be scattered
from all over the place.

So there is no such thing as a "base address" in relation to other VM's.

Obviously a guest kernel has a starting address in the virtual/guest-
physical address space, but I don't think that is what you are asking for
(and in any case would be internal to the guest and not generally exposed
to toolstacks).
