I think some of these changes could have been nicely split out to
simplify reviewing. E.g., comment update, release_mem_region(),  &=
~IORESOURCE_BUSY ...

I think our range could be empty after aligning. I assume
request_mem_region() would check that, but maybe we could report a
better error/warning in that case.

Right, same approach is taken by virtio-mem.

Hm, I don't think that's correct. Any specific reason why to mark the
not-added, unaligned parts BUSY? E.g., walk_system_ram_range() could
suddenly stumble over it - and e.g., similarly kexec code when trying to
find memory for placing kexec images. I think we should leave this
!BUSY, just as it is right now.

if (!rc) ?

remove_memory() does a release_mem_region_adjustable(). Don't you
actually want to release the *unaligned* region you requested?

Not sure if inverting the error handling improved the code / review here.

Maybe split some of these changes out. Would at least help me to review ;)
