> not a pair of segments.
> 
> This fixes an infinite loop that happened when segments where
> adjacent in their physical or virtual addresses but not in their
> ioremap addresses: has_adjacent_segments() reported the presence
> of adjacent segments while cleanup_segments() was not considering
> them for concatenation, resulting in an infinite loop since the
> result of has_adjacent_segments() is used in the decision to
> continue looping in cleanup_segments().
