Yu Ning 8a3c3d996e hax: Fix memory mapping de-duplication logic
hax_update_mapping() avoids unnecessary and potentially expensive
calls to HAX_VM_IOCTL_SET_RAM by computing the net result (i.e.
effective mapping changes) of each MemoryRegion transaction, with
the help of a linked list of HAXMapping objects.

However, when processing a new mapping that overlaps with an
existing mapping in the list, it fails to handle the case where the
start address of the new mapping is above that of the existing
mapping in the guest physical address space. This happens when QEMU
is launched with "-machine q35 -enable-hax", which involves the
following MemoryRegion transaction for digging the VGA hole:

 region_del: 0x00000000->0x08000000 VA 05fa0000 ('pc.ram')
 region_add: 0x00000000->0x000a0000 VA 05fa0000 ('pc.ram')
 region_add: 0x000a0000->0x000c0000 VA 00000000 ('vga-lowmem')
 region_add: 0x000c0000->0x08000000 VA 06060000 ('pc.ram')

where the third MemoryRegion is MMIO and is ignored. The current
de-duplication logic handles the last MemoryRegion incorrectly and
produces the following result:

 hax_mapping_dump_list updates:
         + 0x000c0000->0x08000000 VA 0x06060000
         - 0x07fe0000->0x08000000 VA 0x0df80000

which is why VGA emulation does not work for Q35.

With this patch, one can see VGA output as Q35 boots up. Note that
Q35 support also requires a change to HAXM kernel module, which is
not available in the current HAXM release (6.1.2).

+ Add a warning if the input MemoryRegion is a ROM device, which is
  not supported by HAXM kernel module at this time.
