(cc'ing Stefan)
I think that DIRTY_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE is the number of TARGET_PAGEs
within one DIRTY_MEMORY_BLOCK
So with the common 4k target page that's 4k*256k*8=8GB/dirty memory
block - note these are just the size of structure sin qemu, it's still
got the ranularity ot mark individual target pages as dirty.
