Sorry I'm confused.. when npages==0, why as_id field is meaningful? Even if
the id field is meaningless after the slot is successfully removed, or am I
wrong?
My understanding is that after your dynamic slot work, we'll only have at most
one extra memslot that was just removed, and that slot should be meaningless as
a whole. Feel free to correct me.
