Why?  E.g. is 0xc0000000 unconditionally reserved, not guaranteed to be valid,
something else?

Hmm, I think ideally kvm_util_base.h would define a range of memory that can be
used by tests for arbitrary data.  Multiple tests use 0xc0000000, which is not
entirely arbitrary, i.e. it doesn't _need_ to be 0xc0000000, but 0xc0000000 is
convenient because it's 32-bit addressable and doesn't overlap reserved areas in
other architectures.
