This nice little buglet complicates a smarter slot management in qemu user space just "slightly". Sigh...
-------->
When checking for overlapping slots on registration of a new one, kvm
currently also considers zero-length (ie. deleted) slots and rejects
requests incorrectly. This finally denies user space from joining slots.
Fix the check by skipping deleted slots.
