[PATCH 01/11] resource: Add System RAM resource type

[Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hpe.com>]

I/O resource type, IORESOURCE_MEM, 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 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 [1].  Instead, this patch adds a new modifier
flag IORESOURCE_SYSRAM to IORESOURCE_MEM, which introduces an
extended I/O resource type, IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM [2].

To keep the code 'if (resource_type(r) == IORESOURCE_MEM)' to
work continuously for System RAM, resource_ext_type() is added
for extracting extended type bit(s).
