Yes, that's okay. I made it on my working branch but it will not result in
any problem except applying.

I did some mistake. Please test following patch. It is also made
on my working branch so you need to resolve conflict but it would be
trivial.
I inserted some logs to check whether zone is contiguous or not.
Please check that normal zone is set to contiguous after testing.
Thanks.
