As Andrew noted it, this should probably have a comment along the 
lines of:

		/*
		 * Clip entries that go beyond our maximum resource 
		 * awareness limit to the max. If we accepted them
		 * blindly we'd get random rounding artifacts and a 
		 * possibly messed up resource tree and boot 
		 * failures:
		 */
		if (end > MAX_RESOURCE_SIZE)
			end = MAX_RESOURCE_SIZE;
