ram_control_save_page's return is checked by control_save_page which
returns true/false but sets *pages to a return value.
What I'd need to follow closely is the case where ram_control_save_page
returns RAM_SAVE_CONTROL_DELAYED, in that case control_save_page I think
returns with *pages=-1 and returns true.
And I think in that case ram_save_target_page can leak that -1 - hmm.
Now, ram_save_host_page already checks for <0 and will return that,
but I think that would potentially loop in ram_find_and_save_block; I'm
not sure we want to change that or not!
