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.
