This seems kind of odd given that HACKING specifically
says that target_ulong is for virtual addresses and hwaddr
for physical addresses. And in fact all the places that call
memory_mapping_list_add_merge_sorted() actually pass a
target_ulong as the virt_addr parameter, so maybe what we
should be fixing is the function prototype?
Incidentally that use of ram_addr_t for length looks
kind of suspicious to me; it should probably be a hwaddr.
