This one doesn't look like the one in the current tree, and avoids the reuse
of addr by moving the call to get the gpa up instead of renaming the variable
as propossed in :

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/11511

IMHO renaming the parameter variable is probably better in the long run, as it
could result otherwise into scope related bugs like the one from kvm-59
