I mean you can use the listener_release_exit label on failure of the
prereg listener as well as failure of the regular listener.

Hmm.. not necessarily, although it would certainly be strange.  I can
imagine some sort of off-board memory device which incorporates an
"IO"MMU which will remap requests both from the cpu and from DMA
devices.

But, that wouldn't work with VFIO, since we no longer know where the
host memory is which is backing address_space_memory to preregister
it.  Well.. it might be possible by looking at the *target* AS of an
iommu registered in address_space_memory, setting up a listener on
that, and keeping on going until you reach a real memory region.

The case is so unlikely that it's not worth actually implementing the
code for.  But I think it is worth a sanity check.
