Paolo, as the reigning memory API expert, do you see any issues with
this? Expanding the size of a container MemoryRegion and the contained

I guess it's fine if you are okay with maintaining it.
memory_region_set_size exists, might as well use it. :)
What I'm worried about, is what happens if two such regions end up in
the same guest page. Then the two priorities conflict.
Hi Paolo,
I think I can answer this question. We would expand only one MemoryRegion
which is page aligned and set its priority to zero if we have two region
in the same
guest page. Then the Memory Region with higher priority will overlap the
expanded
part of page aligned one as if we didn't do the expanding.
Thanks,
Yongji
