But isn't it possible to unmap one page of RAM and replace that by
MMIO page on KVM, is this because of the memory slots?
It is possible. Currently kvm won't execute code from mmio, but that's
easy to fix. Of course, the kvm instruction emulator isn't 100%
complete (or even close, when considering vector extensions).
Does your
memory work help?
It does, you an add an overlay page and then remove it when done.
