Yes, that assert is wrong.

--->
Subject: vhost: remove an incorrect assert

The 'to' can go negative when the first region gets removed
(it gets incremented by to 0 immediately afterward), which
makes the assertion fail. Nothing breaks if
to < 0 here so just remove the assert.

Removing the assert appears to work fine.

I assume this will make 0.15 since it is a regression? haven't seen the
patch applied to that branch yet.

How is this a regression in 0.15? I thought it's an old bug
exposed by the memory API which I expect is not going into 0.15.

My branch will have to get merged in trunk first.

Is qemu-kvm.git not tagged as 0.15 rc?
