That's a preparation mainly for virtio-mem, where we manage the amount
of memory that is actually accessible and visible by the guest (plugged)
inside a memory region dynamically. The difference exists purely for
stats. (could have been introduced later, but it made sense to split
this off right when factoring this stuff out into memory-device code).
