The parameters start and size are transfered from QEMU memory emulation layer. It can promise that they are TARGET_PAGE_SIZE aligned. However, KVM needs they are qemu_real_page_size aligned.
Though no caller breaks this aligned requirement currently, we'd better add an explicit assert to avoid future breaking.
