Just wanted to be 100% sure. Even if the offets are all correct,
I might have made other mistakes when translating the get/save
code.

About the QEMU_BUILD_BUG_ON lines, we can keep them if you like.
We could translate the uint32_t offsets to byte offsets after
ptach 3/3, to make them easier to compare to the Intel docs.
