I would rather fix qemu_ram_ptr_length to handle 0 as size argument, and
then call qemu_ram_ptr_length with 0 size from cpu_physical_memory_map
(see appended patch).

The compiler is not smart enough, unfortunately.

All right, I am going to use ULONG_MAX.

Agreed, but it is the same as before :)
Do you have any better suggestion? Maybe raddr? I admit I am not very
imaginative with names.
