The spec requires us to set the "addr" in guest physical address space to multiples of the block size. In some cases, this is not the case right now: For example, when starting a VM with 4 GiB boot memory and a virtio-mem device with a block size of 2 GiB, "memaddr" will be auto-assigned to 0x140000000 / 5 GiB.
We'll try to improve auto-assignment for memory devices next, to avoid bailing out in case memory device code selects a bad address. Note: The Linux driver doesn't support such big block sizes yet.
