Commit 848a1cc1e8b04 while introducing SRAT entries for DIMM and NVDIMM
also introduced fake entries for gaps between memory devices, assuming
that we need all possible range covered with SRAT entries.
And it did it wrong since gap would overlap with preceeding entry.
Reproduced with following CLI:

 -m 1G,slots=4,maxmem=8 \
 -object memory-backend-ram,size=1G,id=m0 \
 -device pc-dimm,memdev=m0,addr=0x101000000 \
 -object memory-backend-ram,size=1G,id=m1 \
 -device pc-dimm,memdev=m1

However recent development (10efd7e108) showed that gap entries might
be not need. And indeed testing with WS2008DC-WS2016DC guests range
shows that memory hotplug works just fine without gap entries.

So rather than fixing gap entry borders, just drop them altogether
and simplify code around it.

There is no need to update reference blobs since gaps beween dimms
aren't generated by any exsting test case.

Considering issue is not visible by default lets just merge it into 3.1
and stable 3.0.1

Pls ignore it for now I'll need to do more extensive testing with old kernels,
we might need these holes for old kernels or even new ones.
/me goes to read kernel code

/per spec possible to hotplug range could be in SRAT,
 even though I don't like it bu we might end up with static
 partitioning of hotplug area between nodes like on bare metal
 to avoid chasing after unknown requirements from windows /

Does that mean we might want to pair DIMM slots with NUMA nodes
in advance?  Do you have a suggestion on how the command-line
would look like, in this case?

Maybe "-numa mem-slot,slot=X,node=Y"?

it's either, to make it per slot (it implies fixed maximum size per slot)
or a bit more flexible maxmem per node, might be something like:
  -numa memory,node=X,maxmem=Y

That could work, but maybe it's too much flexibility?  It would
be tricky to define what is supposed happen when a slot cross
multiple NUMA nodes.
