 Overlapping regions and priority
 --------------------------------
-Usually, regions may not overlap each other; a memory address decodes into
-exactly one target.  In some cases it is useful to allow regions to overlap,
-and sometimes to control which of an overlapping regions is visible to the
-guest.  This is done with memory_region_add_subregion_overlap(), which
-allows the region to overlap any other region in the same container, and
-specifies a priority that allows the core to decide which of two regions at
-the same address are visible (highest wins).
+In some cases memory regions may overlap each other, when two regions are
+pretending for the same address range. The control of which of an overlapping
+regions is visible to the guest is done with memory_region_set_priority().
+There are four predefined priorities MR_PRIORITY_LOW, MR_PRIORITY_MEDIUM,
+MR_PRIORITY_HIGH and MR_PRIORITY_EXCLUSIVE. The MR_PRIORITY_EXCLUSIVE is
+the highest priority and regions with this priority must never be overlapped.
+By default memory regions are initialised with priority MR_PRIORITY_LOW.
