target_start should falls in gpa range, while mr_start is ram_addr_t.  I am not
sure whether this is right..

When I wrote that code I was under the impression that
memory_region_get_ram_addr() would give the GPA where the memory region
starts, but ... that's not correct as you point out. "offset" confusion :)

Neither do I know how to get correct mr offset with the existing info we've got
from GuestPhysBlock.  Maybe we need to teach guest_phys_blocks_region_add() to
also record section->offset_within_region?

We might actually want offset_within_address_space + offset_within_region,
so we can calculate the GPA difference to see where inside the ramblock we
end up.

I still think offset_within_region is exactly what we want to fill in here, but
you can do a double check.

I remember when I first looked into that months ago I wanted to avoid
extending GuestPhysBlock. The commit message actually tells us what to do,
and where my optimization went wrong :)

"We might not start at the beginning of the memory region. We could also
 calculate via the difference in the host address; however,
 memory_region_set_dirty() also relies on memory_region_get_ram_addr()
 internally, so let's just use that."

So, avoiding the optimization, we'd be left with:

That should make more sense :)
