[PATCH v4 10/10] KVM: selftests: Move memslot 0 above KVM internal memslots

KVM creates internal memslots between 3 and 4 GiB paddrs on the first
vCPU creation. If memslot 0 is large enough it collides with these
memslots an causes vCPU creation to fail. Instead of creating memslot 0
at paddr 0, start it 4G into the guest physical address space.
