More cleaner patch(which fixes the issue in a generic fashion) for this
is appended. Ingo, please consider this for inclusion instead.

Some of the pages below the 1MB ISA addresses will be shared typically by both
BIOS and system usable RAM. For example:
BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f800 (usable)
BIOS-e820: 000000000009f800 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)

x86info reads the low physical address using /dev/mem, which internally
uses ioremap() for accessing non RAM pages. ioremap() of such low
pages conflicts with multiple resource entities leading to the
above warning.

Change the iomem_map_sanity_check() to allow mapping a page spanning multiple
resource entities (minimum granularity that one can map is a page anyhow).
