Currently, we will create new user mem map entry for the same memory
segment, but in fact it has already been added to the user mem maps.
It's not necessary to create it twice.

To resolve the issue, add support to remove the same entry in the
function compact_user_maps().

merge_map looks for adjacent maps only, but does not handle maps that
are wholly contained within one another ("the same map" also matches
this definition). wouldn't it be better to check for that instead of
*just* handling identical maps?

What about using the initial implementation?
We don't create new user mem map entry for the same memory segment.

I don't like this implementation because it relies on particulars of how VFIO
mapping work without explicitly specifying them. I.e. it's prone to breaking
when changing code. That's not even mentioning that we have no guarantees
on kernel behavior in that particular case being identical on all supported
platforms.

I would honestly prefer an explicit compaction over implicit one.

What about this implementation?

Again, this works, but i feel like specializing it to just merge the exact same maps is missing an opportunity to provide a more general solution that merges same *and* subset maps.
