You do a depth-first walk of the tree. For each child list, you iterate it from the lowest to highest priority, allowing later subregions override earlier subregions.
Okay, but this doesn't explain how you'll let RAM override the VGA mapping since RAM is not represented in the same child list as VGA (RAM is a child of the PMC whereas VGA is a child of ISA/PCI, both of which are at least one level removed from the PMC).
