The new ucall infrastructure needs to update a couple of guest globals to pass through the ucall MMIO addr and pool of ucall structs. A precondition of this actually working is to have the program image already loaded into guest memory.
Ouch. Might be worth explicitly stating what goes wrong. Even though it's super obvious in hindsight, it still took me a few seconds to understand what precondition you were referring to, e.g. I was trying to figure out how selecting the MMIO address depended on the guest code being loaded...
Call ucall_init() after kvm_vm_elf_load(). Continue to park the ucall MMIO addr after MEM_REGION_TEST_DATA.

Isn't there a hole after CODE_AND_DATA_MEMSLOT? I.e. after memslot 0?
Sure, but that's only guaranteed in the PA space.
The reason I ask is because if so, then we can do the temporarily heinous, but hopefully forward looking thing of adding a helper to wrap kvm_vm_elf_load() + ucall_init().
E.g. I think we can do this immediately, and then at some point in the 6.2 cycle add a dedicated region+memslot for the ucall MMIO page.
Even still, that's just a kludge to make ucalls work. We have other MMIO devices (GIC distributor, for example) that work by chance since nothing conflicts with the constant GPAs we've selected in the tests.
I'd rather we go down the route of having an address allocator for the for both the VA and PA spaces to provide carveouts at runtime. There's another issue with the new ucall implementation where identity mapping could stomp on a program segment that I'm fighting with right now which only further highlights the problems with our (mis)management of address spaces in selftests.
