[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] remove smaller slots if registering a bigger one

[Glauber Costa <glommer@redhat.com>]

It's like a shark eating a bunch of small fishes:
in some situations (vga linear frame buffer mapping,
for example), we need to register a new slot in place
of older, smaller ones. This patch handles this case
