It maps the number of pages you pass in the second argument, see
vm_create.

if (phy_pages != 0)
vm_userspace_mem_region_add(vm, VM_MEM_SRC_ANONYMOUS,
0, 0, phy_pages, 0);

In this case:

data->vm = vm_create_default(VCPU_ID, mempages, guest_code);

called here:

if (!prepare_vm(data, nslots, maxslots, tdata->guest_code,
mem_size, slot_runtime)) {

where mempages is mem_size, which is declared as:

uint64_t mem_size = tdata->mem_size ? : MEM_SIZE_PAGES;

but actually a better fix is just to pass a small fixed value (e.g.
1024) to vm_create_default, since all other regions are added by hand.
