I did some corner cases testing and there is alias overlapping in case 
  -m 4096 -mem-path /var/lib/hugetlbfs/global/pagesize-1GB

  0000000100000000-000000011fffffff (prio 0, RW): alias ram-above-4g-piecetwo 
@pc.ram 00000000e0000000-00000000ffffffff
  0000000100000000-0000000100000000 (prio 0, RW): alias ram-above-4g @pc.ram 
0000000100000000-0000000100000000

perhaps zero sized ram-above-4g shouldn't be created at all?

in addition ram-above-4g-piecetwo starts at half page offset 00000000e0000000 
but guest sees it 4Gb offset,
wouldn't it cause the same issue patch tries to solve but only for 
ram-above-4g-piecetwo tail sync host/guest offsets
are not 1Gb aligned?

there is more misalignment with:
 -m 4097 -mem-path /var/lib/hugetlbfs/global/pagesize-1GB

  0000000100000000-00000001000fffff (prio 0, RW): alias ram-above-4g @pc.ram 
0000000100000000-00000001000fffff
  0000000100100000-00000001200fffff (prio 0, RW): alias ram-above-4g-piecetwo 
@pc.ram 00000000e0000000-00000000ffffffff

where ram-above-4g-piecetwo is aligned with 1Gb+1Mb GPA offset, in addition to 
500Mb offset of HPA.
which would cause the same issue as above prehaps?
