userspace memory slots in terms of KVM, I made it match
KVM's allotment of memory slots for userspace side.

That was my first idea before extending KVM's memslots
to teach kernel to tell qemu this number so that QEMU
at least would be able to check if new memory slot could
be added but I was redirected to a more simple solution
of just extending vs everdoing things.
Currently QEMU supports upto ~250 memslots so 509
is about twice high we need it so it should work for near
future but eventually we might still teach kernel and QEMU
to make things more robust.
