Darn, you called me out on this one :-) I had a feeling I should split out
the introduction of memregions_split(), since it was sneaking a bit more
into the patch than just code motion as advertised, but then I hoped I
get away with putting a bit more burden on the reviewer instead. If you
haven't already convinced yourself that the new function is equivalent to
the old code, then I'll respin with the splitting and also create a new
patch for the 'mem_region' to 'memregions' rename while at it (so there
will be three patches instead of one). But, if you're already good with
it, then I'll leave it as is, since patch splitting is a pain...

Thanks,
