When binding an SCM volume to a physical address the hypervisor has the option to return early with a continue token with the expectation that the guest will resume the bind operation until it completes. A quirk of this interface is that the bind address will only be returned by the first bind h-call and the subsequent calls will return 0xFFFF_FFFF_FFFF_FFFF for the bind address.
We currently do not save the address returned by the first h-call. As a result we will use the junk address as the base of the bound region if the hypervisor decides to split the bind across multiple h-calls. This bug was found when testing with very large SCM volumes where the bind process would take more time than they hypervisor's internal h-call time limit would allow. This patch fixes the issue by saving the bind address from the first call.
