What prevents a guest from moving the device to the end of the address
space and causing an integer overflow in addr + size?

If this happens, we still have .max_access_size = 8. The next question is
then, is NVME_CMBSZ_GETSIZE guaranteed to be at least 8? I suppose yes,
but do we want to rely on this for security?
