we have to avoid COW for the guest memory. Otherwise we risk serious
breakage when guest pages change there physical locations due to COW
after fork. Seen when forking smbd during runtime via -smb.

last_ram_offset += size; + if (kvm_enabled())
+        kvm_setup_guest_memory(new_block->host, size);

     return new_block->offset;
 }

I feel a little bad about picking such small nits, but the if statement requires braces.
