There remains an unresolved question.
Consider an address space that is an LSS 6 node (28 bits). Let slot 0
of that node holding a red segment key to a kept red segment whose
format key says it is LSS 4 (20 bits).
Which keeper gets invoked when the following code is executed:
int i = *((int *) (1 << 20))
the domain keeper, or the red segment keeper?
Note that the address specified falls just outside the LSS 4 segment,
but within the range that should have been covered by that slot of the
LSS 6 node.
