[PATCH v2 0/3] vhost: memslot handling improvements

[David Hildenbrand]

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.

v1 -> v2:
- "vhost: Rework memslot filtering and fix "used_memslot" tracking"
-- New approach: keep filtering, but make filtering less generic and
   track separately. This should keep any existing setups working.
- "softmmu/physmem: Fixup qemu_ram_block_from_host() documentation"
-- As requested by Igor
