We merge the continuous range with same page size allow too early.
in the case
[mem 0x00200000-0x3fffffff] page 2M
[mem 0x40000000-0x7bffffff] page 2M
after merging them, will get
[mem 0x00200000-0x7bffffff] page 2M
even we can use 1G page to map
[mem 0x40000000-0x7bffffff]
that will cause problem, because we map
[mem 0x7fe00000-0x7fffffff] page 1G
[mem 0x7c000000-0x7fdfffff] page 1G
with 1G page.
so need to adjust page size at first before merge
[mem 0x00200000-0x3fffffff] page 2M
[mem 0x40000000-0x7bffffff] page 2M
