ea5a050341 docs: Improve vfio-user documentation
Change the block size to the standard 512 byte sector size to that
disk images can be used (since their partition tables will be specified
in terms of 512 byte sectors.)

Also remove the hugepages=on option from the command line as it is not
necessary.

3ffc655a38 docs: Update VFIO binding instructions
With recent kernels, it is now expected to use "bind" control from the
sysfs in order to bind a specific device to the vfio-pci driver.

The use of "new_id" is still required but it is only needed once per
device type. Let's say you want to bind two virtio-net devices, you will
need to add the device_id:vendor_id pair through "new_id", while you
will be required to use "bind" for each device.

e1cc702327 memory_manager: Fix address range calculation in MemorySlot
The MCRS method returns a 64-bit memory range descriptor. The
calculation is supposed to be done as follows:

max = min + len - 1

However, every operand is represented not as a QWORD but as combination
of two DWORDs for high and low part. Till now, the calculation was done
this way, please see also inline comments:

max.lo = min.lo + len.lo //this may overflow, need to carry over to high
max.hi = min.hi + len.hi
max.hi = max.hi - 1 // subtraction needs to happen on the low part

This calculation has been corrected the following way:

max.lo = min.lo + len.lo
max.hi = min.hi + len.hi + (max.lo < min.lo) // check for overflow
max.lo = max.lo - 1 // subtract from low part

The relevant part from the generated ASL for the MCRS method:
```
Method (MCRS, 1, Serialized)
{
    Acquire (MLCK, 0xFFFF)
    \_SB.MHPC.MSEL = Arg0
    Name (MR64, ResourceTemplate ()
    {
	QWordMemory (ResourceProducer, PosDecode, MinFixed, MaxFixed, Cacheable, ReadWrite,
	    0x0000000000000000, // Granularity
	    0x0000000000000000, // Range Minimum
	    0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFE, // Range Maximum
	    0x0000000000000000, // Translation Offset
	    0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, // Length
	    ,, _Y00, AddressRangeMemory, TypeStatic)
    })
    CreateQWordField (MR64, \_SB.MHPC.MCRS._Y00._MIN, MINL)  // _MIN: Minimum Base Address
    CreateDWordField (MR64, 0x12, MINH)
    CreateQWordField (MR64, \_SB.MHPC.MCRS._Y00._MAX, MAXL)  // _MAX: Maximum Base Address
    CreateDWordField (MR64, 0x1A, MAXH)
    CreateQWordField (MR64, \_SB.MHPC.MCRS._Y00._LEN, LENL)  // _LEN: Length
    CreateDWordField (MR64, 0x2A, LENH)
    MINL = \_SB.MHPC.MHBL
    MINH = \_SB.MHPC.MHBH
    LENL = \_SB.MHPC.MHLL
    LENH = \_SB.MHPC.MHLH
    MAXL = (MINL + LENL) /* \_SB_.MHPC.MCRS.LENL */
    MAXH = (MINH + LENH) /* \_SB_.MHPC.MCRS.LENH */
    If ((MAXL < MINL))
    {
	MAXH += One /* \_SB_.MHPC.MCRS.MAXH */
    }

    MAXL -= One
    Release (MLCK)
    Return (MR64) /* \_SB_.MHPC.MCRS.MR64 */
}
```
