E820 reserved ranges is useful in kdump kernel, it has been added in
kexec-tools code.

One reason is PCI mmconf (extended mode) requires reserved region otherwise
it falls back to legacy mode, and also outputs the following kernel log.

Example:
......
[   19.798354] PCI: MMCONFIG for domain 0000 [bus 00-ff] at [mem 0x80000000-0x8fffffff] (base 0x80000000)
[   19.800653] [Firmware Info]: PCI: MMCONFIG at [mem 0x80000000-0x8fffffff] not reserved in ACPI motherboard resources
[   19.800995] PCI: not using MMCONFIG
......

The correct kernel log is like this:
......
[    0.082649] PCI: MMCONFIG for domain 0000 [bus 00-ff] at [mem 0x80000000-0x8fffffff] (base 0x80000000)
[    0.083610] PCI: MMCONFIG at [mem 0x80000000-0x8fffffff] reserved in E820
......

Furthermore, when AMD SME kdump support, it needs to map dmi table area
as decrypted. For normal boot, these ranges sit in e820 reserved ranges,
thus the early ioremap code naturally map them as decrypted. If it also
has same e820 reserve setup in kdump kernel then it will just work like
normal kernel.

Kdump uses walk_iomem_res_desc to iterate resources, then adds matched
desc to e820 table for the kdump kernel.

But IORES_DESC_NONE resource type includes several different e820 types,
we need add exact e820 type to the kdump kernel e820 table, thus it also
needs an extra checking in memmap_entry_callback() to match the e820 type
and resource name.

Changes since v1:
1. Modified the value of flags to "0", when walking through the whole
tree for e820 reserved ranges.

Changes since v2:
1. Modified the value of flags to "0", when walking through the whole
tree for e820 reserved ranges.
2. Modified the invalid SOB chain issue.

Changes since v3:
1. Dropped [PATCH 1/3 v3] resource: fix an error which walks through iomem
   resources. Please refer to this commit <010a93bf97c7> "resource: Fix
   find_next_iomem_res() iteration issue"

Changes since v4:
1. Improve the patch log, and add kernel log.
