Let's allow for marking memory regions unmergeable, to teach
flatview code and vhost to not merge adjacent aliases to the same memory
region into a larger memory section; instead, we want separate aliases to
stay separate such that we can atomically map/unmap aliases without
affecting other aliases.
This is desired for virtio-mem mapping device memory located on a RAM
memory region via multiple aliases into a memory region container,
resulting in separate memslots that can get (un)mapped atomically.
As an example with virtio-mem, the layout would look something like this:
[...]
0000000240000000-00000020bfffffff (prio 0, i/o): device-memory
0000000240000000-000000043fffffff (prio 0, i/o): virtio-mem
0000000240000000-000000027fffffff (prio 0, ram): alias memslot-0 @mem2 0000000000000000-000000003fffffff
0000000280000000-00000002bfffffff (prio 0, ram): alias memslot-1 @mem2 0000000040000000-000000007fffffff
00000002c0000000-00000002ffffffff (prio 0, ram): alias memslot-2 @mem2 0000000080000000-00000000bfffffff
[...]
Without unmergable memory regions, all three memslots would get merged into
a single memory section. For example, when mapping another alias (e.g.,
virtio-mem-memslot-3) or when unmapping any of the mapped aliases,
memory listeners will first get notified about the removal of the big
memory section to then get notified about re-adding of the new
(differently merged) memory section(s).
In an ideal world, memory listeners would be able to deal with that
atomically, like KVM nowadays does. However, (a) supporting this for other
memory listeners (vhost-user, vfio) is fairly hard: temporary removal
can result in all kinds of issues on concurrent access to guest memory;
and (b) this handling is undesired, because temporarily removing+readding
can consume quite some time on bigger memslots and is not efficient
(e.g., vfio unpinning and repinning pages ...).
Let's allow for marking a memory region unmergeable, such that we
can atomically (un)map aliases to the same memory region, similar to
(un)mapping individual DIMMs.
Similarly, teach vhost code to not redo what flatview core stopped doing:
don't merge such sections. Merging in vhost code is really only relevant
for handling random holes in boot memory where; without this merging,
the vhost-user backend wouldn't be able to mmap() some boot memory
backed on hugetlb.
We'll use this for virtio-mem next.

We really only care about the RAM memory region not being mapped into
an address space yet as long as we're still setting up the
RamDiscardManager. Once mapped into an address space, memory notifiers
would get notified about such a region and any attempts to modify the
RamDiscardManager would be wrong.
While "mapped into an address space" is easy to check for RAM regions that
are mapped directly (following the ->container links), it's harder to
check when such regions are mapped indirectly via aliases. For now, we can
only detect that a region is mapped through an alias (->mapped_via_alias),
but we don't have a handle on these aliases to follow all their ->container
links to test if they are eventually mapped into an address space.
So relax the assertion in memory_region_set_ram_discard_manager(),
remove the check in memory_region_get_ram_discard_manager() and clarify
the doc.
