Using small requests may be a bit inefficient, but it still works and allows
the guest to make progress.
Allocating very large quantities of memory is very likely to kill the VM one
way or another. This is not acceptable, especially when the guest hasn't even
done anything wrong. There are legitimate circumstances where the size of the
outstanding IO requests may be comparable to the guest ram size.
