We are replacing in a sorted array, so the the direction of our
traversal doesn't change, (and we could lose one tab level here,)

	if (new->npages < mslots[i].npages) {
		while (i < (KVM_MEM_SLOTS_NUM - 1) &&
		       new->npages < mslots[i + 1].npages) {
			mslots[i] = mslots[i + 1];
			slots->id_to_index[mslots[i].id] = i;
			i++;
		}
	else if (new->npages > mslots[i].npages)
		while (i > 0 &&
		       new->npages > mslots[i - 1].npages) {
			mslots[i] = mslots[i - 1];
			slots->id_to_index[mslots[i].id] = i;
			i--;
		}

(I guess you don't want me to abstract these two loops further :)

If the probability of slots with same npages was high, we could also
move just the last one from each group, but I think that the current
algorithm is already faster than we need.

(We'll have to change it into an interval tree, or something, if the
 number of slots rises anyway.)
