[Qemu-devel] [RFC v5 04/86] memory: merge adjacent segments of a single memory region

[Avi Kivity]

Simple implementations of memory routers, for example the Cirrus VGA memory 
banks
or the 440FX PAM registers can generate adjacent memory regions which are 
contiguous.
Detect these and merge them; this saves kvm memory slots and shortens lookup 
times.
