Do you mean the code is wrong? I don't think so.

Even if I have 

+    if ( ((unsigned long)memory) - ((unsigned long)p) != size )
+        return NULL;
+

Hvmloader doesn't complain, i.e. I don't see error message printed out
in the construct_secondary_tables.

Anyway, if the above snippet is what you want, I can add it.
