A kvm_page_table_test run with its default settings fails on VMX due to
memory region add failure:

This is because the memory range that this test is trying to add
(0x0c0000000 - 0x100000000) conflicts with LAPIC mapping at 0x0fee00000.

Looking at the code it seems that guest_test_*phys*_mem variable gets
mistakenly overwritten with guest_test_*virt*_mem while trying to adjust
the former for alignment.
With the correct variable adjusted this test runs successfully.

Queued, thanks.
