Sure, re-mapping what is already mapped is perfectly fine. I'm talking about implicitly "mapping" more, i.e. not really mapping a superset but rather using a zero-length pointer (or the whole named array) to refer to the object just for the sake of convenience (without having to re-write the exact range). Libomptarget has always supported this scenario, e.g. we have mapped A[0 : N/2] and then pass A[0:0] (or A[0:N] if A is a named array) to the target region. Now, if we split the array across multiple devices and each device only maps a chunk, without this patch all devices (except for the first one) will fail to look up the mapping.
