Wow, this is pretty cool! Note that the lguest implementation is a bit limited, but lguest doesn't have a real ABI, so we can simply change it if we wanted to. I assume you don't have that luxury. In particular, you may want to get rid of the historical align constant, and have explicit avail and used addresses.
