The kvmvapic code remaps a section of ROM as RAM to allow the guest to maintain state there. It is careful to align the section size to a page boundary, to avoid creating subpages, but neglects to do the same for the start address. These leads to an assert later on when the memory core tries to create a page which is half RAM and half ROM.
Fix by aligning the start address to a page boundary. This can be triggered by running qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -vga none.
