The memmove span covers from (next+1) to the end of the array, and the index of next is (i+1), so the index of (next+1) is (i+2). So the size of remaining array elements is (type->cnt - (i + 2)).
PS. It seems that memblock_merge_regions() could be made some improvement: we need't memmove the remaining array elements until we find a none-mergable element, but now we memmove everytime we find a neighboring compatible region. I'm not sure if the trial is worth though.
