I don't see any benefit of this patch on its own. Some of this should
be part of the main damon context patch. I would suggest to separate
the core (damon context) from the target related structs (target,
region, addr range).
Also I would prefer the code be added with the actual usage otherwise
it is hard to review.

Why not keep a count instead of traversing to get the size?
