That's probably a useful check, so


Reviewed-by: Dr. David Alan Gilbert <dgilbert@redhat.com>

however, maybe it needs to be more thorough before using area->base to
qemu_map_ram_ptr? - I think it'll get unhappy if it's a bad address not
in a ram block. (Or check you're running over the end of a ramblock)
