How can we be sure that the "mem" space doesn't overlap with the "prefmem" space?
No check at the moment. Which way do you prefer?
do nothing and pray that user wouldn't add so many devices. (current implementation) I chose this implementation because the existing code doesn't check whether mem area overlaps with around 4GB area which is used for other purpose.
add overlap check. If mem area reaches to perfmem area, abandon further mapping with warning.
I'd probably go with "add overlap check". I could be convinced otherwise though.
