I definitely don't like this. RAZ/WI might be OK, but implementing
random areas of devices as RAM smells like a hack. Better would be
to identify what the guest is actually doing in these areas.

And we still need to actually identify what is segfaulting and
fix that as a separate bug -- can we have a backtrace please?
