I wouldn't even care about documenting this right now. We have no user
so far, so spending 50% of the description on this topic isn't really
needed IMHO :)

E.g., in my virtio-mem I am currently adding all memory blocks
separately either way (to guranatee that remove_memory() works cleanly -
see __release_memory_resource()), and to control the amount of
not-offlined memory blocks (e.g., to make user space is actually
onlining them). As it's just a prototype, this might change of course in
the future.

Can you make this documentation only state how MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY
works? (IOW, shrink it heavily to what we actually implement)
