 This function allows a plugin to read or write `len` bytes of guest physical
 memory at `addr` into or from the supplied buffer `buf`. This function differs
 from QEMU's `cpu_physical_memory_rw` in that it will never access I/O, only
-RAM. This function returns zero on success, and negative values on failure (page not mapped).
