Subject: vhost: Allow adjoining regions
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e7b94a84b6cb4a632c558ed24e8d6f4baa3f75eb;p=qemu.git

vhost: Allow adjoining regions

My rework of section adding combines overlapping or adjoining regions,
but checks they're actually the same underlying RAM block.
Fix the case where two blocks adjoin but don't overlap; that new region
should get added (but not combined), but my previous patch was disallowing it.

Fixes: c1ece84e7c9
