I don't think this is needed.
What _could_ be useful is to merge adjacent ranges even if they are
partly unmapped, but your patch doesn't do that.
But converting to a "reserved HVA" range should have been done already
in memory_region_add_subregion_common.
Am I missing something? (And I see now that my request about
memory_region_get_ram_ptr is linked to this bit of your patch).
