Re: [PATCH v2 1/2] domain_validate: Account for NVDIMM label size properly when checking for memory conflicts

As of v9.8.0-rc1~7 we check whether two <memory/> devices don't overlap (since we allow setting where a <memory/> device should be mapped to). We do this pretty straightforward, by comparing start and end address of each <memory/> device combination. But since only the start address is given (an exposed in the XML), the end address is computed trivially as: start + mem->size * 1024 And for majority of memory device types this works. Except for NVDIMMs. For them the <memory/> device consists of two separate regions: 1) actual memory device, and 2) label. Label is where NVDIMM stores some additional information like namespaces partition and so on. But it's not mapped into the guest the same way as actual memory device. In fact, mem->size is a sum of both actual memory device and label sizes. And to make things a bit worse, both sizes are subject to alignment (either the alignsize value specified in XML, or system page size if not specified in XML). Therefore, to get the size of actual memory device we need to take mem->size and substract label size rounded up to alignment. If we don't do this we report there's an overlap between two NVDIMMs even when in reality there's none.
