Maybe we should name it "mem". And if I remember right Gerd
suggested keeping them all 32 bits:

u32 mem_res

I must have missed it, but why do we need io_8 field?

I don't see any io_16 field.
Maybe only one field:
   u32 io_res

Name and comment mismatch

Name and comment mismatch

It should look like:
         - u32 bus_res
         - u32 io_res
         - u32 mem_res,
         - u32 mem_prefetchable_32,
         - u64 mem_prefetchable_64, (mutually exclusive with the above)

Does it look right to all?

Maybe we should be more concrete:
   REDHAT_CAP_TYPE_RES_RESERVE

I know the exact layout is less important for your current
project, but is important to get it right the first time.

Thanks,
