[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] vhost: Allow abutting regions

["Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)" <dgilbert@redhat.com>]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

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

Fixes: c1ece84e7c9
