[PATCH 01/17] resource: Add System RAM resource type

[Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de>]

From: Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hpe.com>

The IORESOURCE_MEM I/O resource type is used for all types of
memory-mapped ranges, ex. System RAM, System ROM, Video RAM, Persistent
Memory, PCI Bus, PCI MMCONFIG, ACPI Tables, IOAPIC, reserved, and so
on.

This requires walk_system_ram_range(), walk_system_ram_res(), and
region_intersects() to use strcmp() against string "System RAM" to
search for System RAM ranges in the iomem table, which is inefficient.
__ioremap_caller() and reserve_memtype() on x86, for instance, call
walk_system_ram_range() for every request to check if a given range is
in System RAM ranges.

However, adding a new I/O resource type for System RAM is not a viable
option, see [1]. There are approx. 3800 references to IORESOURCE_MEM in
the kernel/drivers, which makes it very difficult to distinguish their
usages between new type and IORESOURCE_MEM.

The I/O resource types are also used by the PNP subsystem. Therefore,
introduce an extended I/O resource type, IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM, which
consists of IORESOURCE_MEM and a new modifier flag IORESOURCE_SYSRAM,
see [2].

To keep the code 'if (resource_type(r) == IORESOURCE_MEM)' still working
for System RAM, resource_ext_type() is added for extracting extended
type bits.
