Why do you need this ? All the RAM can be registered with a single call.
I fear you need to do that because of KVM RAM handling limitations.

No fully correct because it is intended to be the host page size.

I agree with the fact that ram_size should be 64 bit. Maybe each machine
could test the value and emit an error message if it is too big. Maybe
an uint64_t would be better though.
