Following up on my previous work to make virtio-mem consume multiple
memslots dynamically [1] that requires precise accounting between used vs.
reserved memslots, I realized that vhost makes this extra hard by
filtering out some memory region sections (so they don't consume a
memslot) in the vhost-user case, which messes up the whole memslot
accounting.
This series fixes what I found to be broken and prepares for more work on
[1]. Further, it cleanes up the merge checks that I consider unnecessary.

Igor worked on memslots a lot previously and he asked for
a bit of time to review this, so I'll wait a bit before
applying.
I've reviewed it as much as I could.
(That said, vhost mem map code was mostly rewritten by dgilbert,
since the last time I've touched it, so his review would be
more valuable in this case than mine)
