Right, that's the case since 2018.

That way, we should never be getting unaligned ranges IIRC, correct? I 
think we added ways in QEMU to guarantee that for the HV-balloon 
implementation as well.

Why not stick to PAGES_IN_2M and call this

ha_pages_in_chunk? Much easier to get than "pgs".

Apart from that looks good. Some helper macros to convert size to chunks 
etc. might make the code even more readable.
