NACK to your patch as it is just covering up buggy code silently. The problem needs to be addressed in change_memory_common() to return if there is no size to change (numpages == 0). It's a two line fix to that function.

So add a WARN_ON there to *warn* about the situations. There's really no need to BUG_ON here.
