/* General sanity checks */
if (mem->memory_size & (PAGE_SIZE - 1))
goto out;
if (mem->guest_phys_addr & (PAGE_SIZE - 1))
goto out;

if (mem->guest_phys_addr + mem->memory_size < mem->guest_phys_addr)
goto out;

If mem->memory_size is zero, then check above fails.
If mem->memory_size > 0, it must be at least PAGE_SIZE, in which case
npages == 1.

Which means the code does not allow changes to non-existing slots.
Yes?
