I see what you are tyring to do here.

But once here, why aren't we just calling getpagesize() and call it a
day?  I can't see what advantage has to have this other name for this
function, and as you are already changing all its uses anyways.

Once there, I can see that qemu_real_host_page_mask is used (almost)
everywhere as (vfio code use the real value):

    foo & qemu_real_host_page_mask()

or

    foo & ~qemu_real_host_page_mask()

And no, I don't have any good names for this macros.

Anyways, if you don't like the suggestion, your changes are better that
we already have, so ...
