I think one important aspect of these tests in generic mode is that
the written range touches both valid and invalid memory. I think that
was meant to test any explicit instrumentation isn't just looking at
the starting address, but at the whole range.

It seems that with these changes that is no longer tested. Could we
somehow make it still test that?
