E820 reserved ranges is useful in kdump kernel, we have added this in
kexec-tools code.

One reason is PCI mmconf (extended mode) requires reserved region otherwise
it falls back to legacy mode.

Furthermore, when AMD SME kdump support, it needs to map dmi table area as
unencrypted. For normal boot, these ranges sit in e820 reserved ranges,
thus the early ioremap code naturally map them as unencrypted. If we also
have 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.

By the way, we also fix an error which walks through iomem resources, the
values of the function parameter may be modified in the while loop of
__walk_iomem_res_desc(), which will cause us to not get the desired result
in some cases.

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.

These fix:

  - A kexec off-by-one error that we probably never see in practice (only
    affects a resource starting at exactly 640KB).

  - A corner case in walk_iomem_res_desc(), walk_system_ram_res(), etc that
    we probably also never see in practice (only affects a single byte
    resource at the very end of the region we're searching)

  - An issue in walk_iomem_res_desc() that apparently causes a kdump issue
    (see Lianbo's note at [1]).

I think we need to fix the kdump issue either by these patches
(specifically the last one) or by the patch Lianbo posted [2].

I'm hoping to avoid deciding and merging these myself, but I'm not
sure who really wants to own kernel/resource.c.
